Collected Poems 1940-1978.
Publisher: New York: Random House.. First Edition, 1978. White cloth, in bright glossy laminated berry colored dustjacket. Fine/Fine. 341pp, with Index. Shapiro's "crudite" as the French would say, was an adjunct to his wit, enabling it to escape the confines of an over-refined academic milieu within which his career would otherwise probably have escaped notice.

A Fine copy, unworn, gilt bright, text clean. In addition, this copy is INSCRIBED by the Shapiros to family friends, dated 1945. Also, laid in is undated ALS, also by the Shapiros, expressing contentment in Connecticut. 64pp. Uncut. Protective acetate jacket supplied.

Trial of a Poet and Other Poems
Publisher: Reynal and Hitchcock New York 1947. Gray cloth hardcover in gray dust jacket printed in red and white. 81 pages. Shapiro was an outspoken advocate of the American voice in poetry. He led a distinguished life in American letters, winning numerous prizes including the Pulitzer. The book has a manufacturing flaw of a few wrinkles in cloth on back cover, mild mellowing of paper. The jacket has several edge chips, short closed tears and edge crease but is still quite presentable in a mylar wrapper.

Shapiro, Karl Jay, 1913-2000.
Trial of a Poet and Other Poems.
Publisher: N.Y., Reynal & Hitchcock, 1947.. 4 p.l., 81 p.; 21 cm. ""Trial of a Poet" was born of Karl Shapiro's serving on the jury that awarded the first Bollingen Prize in Poetry, voting on moral grounds against giving the prize to the winner, Ezra Pound. "Essay on Rime" confronts the confusions Shapiro found in poetry in general and in the work of many specific, noted poets." Shapiro had written and published three books of poetry while serving on active duty in the South Pacific and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. This is his first post-war work, although war themes form a major portion of it. He would never be as prolific again. Stock# 42,716. Vg / dj vg.
