POEMS.
Los Altos, CA: The Gyroscope Press, [1940]. First, limited edition. Octavo. Brown card printed wrappers, stapled. 56,[4] pp. First edition, limited to a reported 208 copies hand-printed by the author at his private press. A fragile and uncommon production, issued without formal colophon. Inscribed and signed by Winters to the writer and editor Wilson Follett on the first free flyleaf, "To Wilson Follett with sincere admiration & the hope that he will be sufficiently sensitive & appreciate these minor poems -- from Yvor Winters Oct 1940." Winters has made three corrections to the text: one on each of pages 3, 18, and on the second unnumbered page of his notes that follow the text. Ex-libris with stamp on first flyleaf, and vestiges of the removal of a library card holder on the recto of the lower wrapper, a crease at the spine edge to the wrappers, else a very good or better copy of this poet-printer's artisanal craft. Very good. Item #774
