Also included is a photocopy of a letter from Iliad Press to Ms Kabe notifying her that she had won the 1998 President's Award of Literary Excellence. Also included is a three page biography of Ms Kabe with a color cover, from the International Poetry Hall of Fame Museum website (I get the feeling that this was Ms Kabe's copy; also included is her business card with her address in Santa Monica, phone#, etc.). From her name I thought Ms Kabe was Asian; instead she's Estonian: "In 1943 Kabe obtained her master's degree in art from the Tallinn Art Academy. In 1944 she fled her homeland with her husband and one-year-old daughter to avoid Russian terror and second occupation..In 1987 (she) sculpted a terracotta bust of the last president of free Estonia, Konstantin Pats."

	KERNIGHAN, ROBERT KIRKLAND (KERNIGAN) The Khan's Book of Verse Toronto: The Evening Telegram. 1925, 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. Though there is no statement of printing on the copyright page I'm confident that this is a 1st. 197 pages plus a four page Index to Titles and a four page Index to First Lines in an attractive/durable full-cloth binding, includes a photo-illustrated frontispiece (picture of Mr. Kernighan and of his log cabin, the "Wigwam" in Rockton, Ontario). From the Foreword: "The Khan - Robert Kirkland Kernighan - has been known to readers of The Toronto Evening Telegram these many years past, through his verse and prose contributions to its columns. His fame extends throughout the Dominion from Halifax to Vancouver, and he is honoured by all who love Canada and things Canadian. The verses in this little book are but a fraction of what he has written, and have been selected because they are much more than faithful and beautiful pictures of Canadian rural life. They best reveal the author himself - a brave, original Canadian who can see the Ideal in everyday reality." Nice copy and well-made (sewn binding/pages white): the book has a smallish newspaper obituary for Mr. Kernighan (hand-dated "November 4th 1926") mounted on the front fixed endpaper, another newspaper obit (dated the same) mounted on the front free endpaper (with a very small vintage bookstore stamp below it), and a one and a half column example of one of his newspaper articles mounted on the next page. The binding's spine is a little darkened/slightly worn at head/heel (with a little trimming of frayed cloth at head), VERY faint staining on front of binding (hard to see), a little wear at corners. Otherwise the book is in very nice condition with NO previous owner's signature/bookplate/highlighting/underlining/notes/other stamps. NOT an ex-library, NOT a book club, NOT a remainder.

Mass Market Paperback. 81 pages, small format paperback, one of the Penguin 60s line. "Jack Kerouac is best known for his multi-volume Legend of Duluoz, which includes ON THE ROAD and THE DHARMA BUMS, but he was also an important poet. One of the eight extended poems contained in Kerouac's BOOK OF BLUES (Penguin 1995), 'San Francisco Blues' is an exuberant foray into language and consciousness, combining rich imagery, complex internal rhythms, and a reverent attentiveness to the moment." Very nice copy: spine square/no creases/slight fading at front hinge, one tiny dent on front, pages tanned/first page has one short edgetear.

	KIPLING, RUDYARD; GEORGE ORWELL (INTRODUCTION) The Works of Rudyard Kipling Ware, Hertfordshire, England: Wordsworth Editions. 1994, Later Edition?. (ISBN: 1853264059). Trade Paperback. Ill.: Cover Art: Tony Selina. 845 pages, quality trade paperback, includes an Index to First Lines. "This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) contains all of his verse. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads. Popularly but mistakenly thought to be so much of an imperialist as to be almost fascist, Kipling's attitudes changed over the years from youthful exuberance to reveal a darker side to his nature after the death of his son in the First World War. This edition has a full-length Introduction by George Orwell which is, perhaps, the finest brief survey of Kipling's verse." Excellent copy: spine square/no creases, very faint reading crease on front/back cover parallel to spine, upper corner of back has one faint crease, pages lightly toned.

"Writing as long ago as 1936, Edith Sitwell said of Thomas: 'The work of this young man is on a huge scale both in theme and structurally, and the form of many of the poems is superb.' Thomas, one of the most controversial poets of the century, is also one of the most widely discussed, dividing both critics and readers - 'the scoffers and the understanders', as Kenneth Hopkins puts it. Dylan Thomas himself selected the contents of COLLECTED POEMS 1934-1952 and it contains, in his own words, 'most of the poems I have written and all, up to the present year [1952] that I wish to preserve'. He died, of course, in the following year.."

	KERNIGHAN, ROBERT KIRKLAND (KERNIGAN) The Khan's Book of Verse Toronto: The Evening Telegram. 1925, 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. Though there is no statement of printing on the copyright page I'm confident that this is a 1st. 197 pages plus a four page Index to Titles and a four page Index to First Lines in an attractive/durable full-cloth binding, includes a photo-illustrated frontispiece (picture of Mr. Kernighan and of his log cabin, the "Wigwam" in Rockton, Ontario). From the Foreword: "The Khan - Robert Kirkland Kernighan - has been known to readers of The Toronto Evening Telegram these many years past, through his verse and prose contributions to its columns. His fame extends throughout the Dominion from Halifax to Vancouver, and he is honoured by all who love Canada and things Canadian. The verses in this little book are but a fraction of what he has written, and have been selected because they are much more than faithful and beautiful pictures of Canadian rural life. They best reveal the author himself - a brave, original Canadian who can see the Ideal in everyday reality." Nice copy and well-made (sewn binding/pages white): the book has a smallish newspaper obituary for Mr. Kernighan (hand-dated "November 4th 1926") mounted on the front fixed endpaper, another newspaper obit (dated the same) mounted on the front free endpaper (with a very small vintage bookstore stamp below it), and a one and a half column example of one of his newspaper articles mounted on the next page. The binding's spine is a little darkened/slightly worn at head/heel (with a little trimming of frayed cloth at head), VERY faint staining on front of binding (hard to see), a little wear at corners.

Ill.: Cover Art: Tony Selina. 845 pages, quality trade paperback, includes an Index to First Lines. "This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) contains all of his verse. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads. Popularly but mistakenly thought to be so much of an imperialist as to be almost fascist, Kipling's attitudes changed over the years from youthful exuberance to reveal a darker side to his nature after the death of his son in the First World War. This edition has a full-length Introduction by George Orwell which is, perhaps, the finest brief survey of Kipling's verse."
