First volume of poetry and articles from this novelist, best known for his "Checkerboard Trilogy". Black cloth boards faintly mottled, top edge with mild spotting, but a very good copy indeed in very good, very slightly rubbed and edgeworn dust jacket with a couple of nicks to bottom edge. JS
Book #B-286. Young revolutionists, old establishmentarians, Agnew and Nixon, Indians and braceros, blacks and whites, Vietnam and Thailand, poverty and the moon program - all these are elements of Eastlake's thoughts, of his writing. Wear at edges, reading creases, soiling on book and endpages, rubbed, interior browning. Size: 4 1/4" x 7"
1970, 1st printing. (Hardcover) Very good in very good plus dust jacket. 240pp. The spine is lightly worn, the book lacks the front endpaper and the back panel of the dust jacket is a bit rubbed. "I want to warn you that I am the poet of the revolution. With these words William Eastlake begins this pointed, political, lyrical, and dramatic collection of poetry and prose. Young revolutionists, old establishmentarians, Agnew and Nixon, LBJ, Indians and braceros, blacks and whites, Vietnam and Thailand, poverty and the moon program - all of these are elements of Eastlake's thoughts, of his writing". Time Period 1960's. Locale: United States. (Poetry, Activism, Native Americans, Poetry, Revolution, Vietnam War)
Dustwrapper shows two minor scrapes and minimal edgewear. Overall, a collectible copy of this author's book of poetry and verse with an early 70's revolutionary flair. The first edition by the author of "The Bronc People".
Very nice copy in every respect: 240p., plus author vita leaf, sewn textblock, hardbound in matte black cloth boards titled bronze, enclosed in the glossy dust jacket featuring a fist with a flower. Completely sound, clean and unmarked, with just a bit of edgewear to top margin of jacket. And on dust jacket photo Eastlake seems a bit beady-eyed.
This hardcover book is square and tight. The boards and spine have no wear with pristine lettering. The pages and endpages are clean, with no markings or folds. The dustjacket is As New. Original Price is intact. Not ex-lib. No remainder mark.
This is a pointed, political, lyrical and dramatic collection of poetry and prose. Very much a product of its times. This volume contains Eastlake's first poems to appear in print. A nice copy with an archival sleeve covering the dust jacket. A first edition signed "For David, Best Wishes, William Eastlake."
