Title: The Desert Music and Other Poems
Publication: New York: The Spiral Press / Random House, 1954
Edition: 1st Limited Edition

Description: 8vo. Near Fine.

A scarce 1st edition, limited to just 100 copies signed by the poet, this being number 54.

The 'Desert Music' collection features poems by Williams written during 1949-1954, years during which Williams suffered a series of strokes, the first being in 1949 and the effects of which are much noticeable in his signature.

This is widely regarded as one of his major collections and one of the last before his death in 1963.

Quarter tan cloth over sage-green paper-covered boards. 90pp. Williams' signature on a special limitations page. Paper title label to spine. Mild edge wear, with two small marks to front board. Lacking slipcase and original glassine dust jacket.

Overall an exceptional example of this major poetical collection.
