Stevens, Wallace, 1879-1955
Ideas of Order By Wallace Stevens.
Publisher: New York, The Alcestis Press, 1935. 63 p., 1 leaf, 24 cm. "This first edition ... is strictly limited to 165 copies, signed by the author. Twenty copies, numbered I-XX are printed on Duca di Modena, an Italian handmade paper, for presentation purposes; 135 copies, numbered 1-135 on Strathmore permanent all-rag paper, are for sale, and 10 copies, marked out of series, are for review." Edelstein A2.a: quotes a Stevens letter to Latimer "The book has just arrived and gives me the greatest possible pleasure. It must have taken no end of time and put you and Mr. [Willard] Maas to no end of trouble. But here it is, and it strikes me, quite regardless of its contents, as being a very good job. Too bad that I can't read it. Of course if I were to read any of these things again I should jump out of my skin. "Let me say this: you have been generous in sending me ten copies, and while that seems to have been our agreement, I had forgotten it until Mr. Ney reminded me of it. The chances are that you cannot possibly come out whole, even if you sold the whole edition without difficulty and received the full price for each copy. If I am right about this, and my guess is that I am, don't think of sending me any money. The book is a handsome piece of work, and as it probably will be your first book I should be very glad to go along with you without any royalties or anything of the sort. In fact, it would jolt me to think of royalties under the circumstances.Also includes Alcestis: a poetry quarterly. N.Y. 1934. Volume 1, number 1 (the quarterly only four survived numbers) in which eight Stevens' poems, including The Idea of Order at Key West, were first published. Edelstein B88. (The Table of Contents says seven). The Ideas of Order is Roman numeral V. Stevens' sigbature is a calligraphic nightmare and I took it to be "Lanac^ Drumm" one of his "ghostlier demarcations". Inscribed on the second front blank "To S. Foster Damon / who combined kind / deeds with kind / words / J R L Latimer. Stock# OB987. Vg, The two are kept together in a clam shell slip case by Jim Dimarcantonio of the Hope Bindery.
