New York: Boni & Liveright, 1926. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, second issue with Allen Tate correctly spelled on the tipped-in title page. Signed by Hart Crane and inscribed to a former owner mere months before his suicide, "To Hanna with all good wishes, from Hart Crane Mexico '32." Bound in publisher's paper-covered boards over dark blue spine cloth. Very Good with rubbing to binding and gilt lettering on spine. Pages toned, and with a small bookseller's ticket (Brentano's) to the rear pastedown. Crane has been hailed by many as the most influential poet of his generation. The poet committed suicide at age 32, and books signed by him are uncommon.
