Author: (IOWA POETRY WORKSHOP) Title: West of Boston: Poems from the State University of Iowa Poetry Workshop in Honor of the Visit of Robert Frost
Description: Iowa City, The Qara Press, 1959. Paperback. Narrow 8vo. Stiff cream wrappers. (14pp). Fine. Superb copy of this slim gathering of 13 poems by 13 poets, with rear colophon (which notes "The printer's debt to Paul Engle and Harry Duncan is larger than the colophon will hold") citing an edition of 400 copies, 20 on special paper and of these ten signed by all contributors; this is one of the "regular" 380 copies. Among the contributors of course Workshop director Paul Engle leads the way, while others include Edmund Skelling, Robert Mezey, John Taylor, Henri Coulette, Vern Rutsala and probably one of the first appearances in print of crime novelist Martha Grimes. Rather scarce. .
