The Kid
New York; (1947): Duell Sloan and Pearce. First Edition. Octavo. Item #007037
32pp. Narrative poetry inspired by a young man who was in possession of Boston Commons when the first settlers arrived in 1630. The Kid of this narrative poem is, in Mr. Aiken's words, " a tantalizing figure, ancestor alike of those pioneers who sought freedom and privacy in the conquest of an untamed continent, and those others who struggled for it in the darker kingdoms of the soul. Bound in light brown cloth, spin lettering blue, a near fine copy in unclipped brown dust jacket lettered and decorated in black and red, Very light chipping to spine ends. Very nice.
