Hardcover. First edition. Illustrated by William Saphier. Hinges repaired, spine lettering rubbed, and the front cover paper illustration, intended to be affixed to the front board, is laid in; else about very good, without the dustwrapper. Signed by the author on the title page, as well at the end of the foreword and beneath six of her poems. Widdemer shared the 1919 Pulitzer Prize for poetry (the second ever awarded) with Carl Sandburg; in this volume she parodies the styles of the most prominent poets of her day, including Robert Frost, Ezra Pound, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and her co-winner Sandburg, as well as herself. An uncommon title.
