Afternoon of a Pawnbroker and Other Poems

Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1943. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. First edition, no dust jacket, some minor rubbing, tone & edge wear to boards, page ridges toned, text unmarked, binding tight. 1943 Hard Cover. 49 pp. 8.6 x 5.9. "Kenneth Fearing (July 28 1902 - June 26, 1961) was an American poet, novelist, and founding editor of the Partisan Review. Literary critic Macha Rosenthal called him "the chief poet of the American Depression." Fearing was born in Oak Park, Illinois. His parents divorced when he was a year old, and he was raised mainly by his aunt. After studying at the University of Wisconsin, Fearing moved to New York City where he began a career as a poet and was active in leftist politics. In the Twenties and Thirties, he published regularly in The New Yorker and helped found The Partisan Review, while also working as an editor, journalist, and speechwriter and turning out a good deal of pulp fiction. Some of Fearing's pulp fiction was soft-core pornography, often published under the pseudonym Kirk Wolff. A selection of Fearing's poems has been published as part of the Library of America's American Poets Project. His complete poetic works, edited by Robert M. Ryley, were published by the National Poetry Foundation in 1994. Fearing published several collections of poetry including Angel Arms (1929), Dead Reckoning (1938), Afternoon of a Pawnbroker and other poems (1943), Stranger at Coney Island and other poems (1948), and seven novels including The Big Clock (1946). He is the father of poet Bruce Fearing." - Wikipedia.

New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, (c.1946). Later Printing ("c" code). Hardcover. Illustrated by (dj) "Roger". [good solid copy, only lightly shelfworn, but with some apparent surface deterioration to black cloth on both front and back covers; the jacket is clean and bright with just a little edgewear, but unfortunately with a couple of vertical crease lines--one running down the middle of the front panel, the other down the middle of the rear panel]. Very presentable copy of noir fiction classic, made into an excellent film starring Ray Milland and Charles Laughton. [The code "[ b-9-46]" on the copyright page seems to indicate a 2nd printing, in the same year as the initial publication; I have compared this copy to a first edition and it seems identical in every way, including the $2.50 price on jacket]..
