In den WarenkorbZustand: Good. 4to. 18 x 23cm. Original wraps. One of 50 numbered copies on Holland paper. Volume IV of "The Collected Poems of Harry Crosby.".Caresse published this work 2 years after Harry killed his lover Josephine Rotch and himself. Crosby revered Rimbaud, and with Rimbaud's self-deregulation in mind, believed in his own ide…alizations of suicide. To his wife, Caresse Crosby, he had proposed suicide pacts on several occasions since early in their relationship.He wrote about such pacts in his poems and in his diaries, and he talked about them, most consequentially, with the most significant of his many mistresses, Josephine Rotch Bigelow, with whom he was found dead in bed?a bullet hole to her left temple, a bullet hole to his right temple, his right hand holding a .25 caliber pistol, his free hand joined in Josephine's?in a New York hotel room on December 11th, 1929. The couple was fully clothed, and there was no suicide note. They had consumed immense quantities of gin and opium pills, not unusual for Harry, or his "fire-princess," as he called Josephine, who, like himself, was thoroughly a product of Back Bay Boston. Had Josephine been the first to call Harry's bluff, and insist that he carry through in action the belief he expressed to her, that the greatest expression and fulfillment of love was for two lovers to die together in suicide?"Minkoff, A-42.

In den WarenkorbZustand: Good. Letterpress in red on slate paper. 40.5 x 30.2cm. Marginal tears.As published in Portfolio V , edited by Caresse Crosby. .Harry Crosby - self indulgent socialite, tortured poet, wealthy mystic ? a playboy who lived his life with reckless abandon - was a man both adored and reviled. He has been described by some as… "a representative figure of the so-called Lost Generation", the bohemian 1920s.A godson of J.P. Morgan Jr., Harry was a Harvard graduate and a decorated war veteran, who had left school to become an ambulance driver in France with his upper-crust chums during World War I. He ended up with the Croix de Guerre for valor and, after a few frustrating years back in Boston, fled to Paris for the rest of his short life. Married in 1922 to Mary Phelps Jacob, known as "Caresse", they lived the "ultimate Bohemian lives as poets, artists, and patrons in Paris in the 1920's. To every adventure their answer was always 'yes'." Harry once sent a telegram from Paris to his father, the quintessential sober, patriarch, which read, "Please sell $10,000 worth in stock. We intend to live a mad and extravagant life.".While living and writing in Paris Harry Crosby founded The Black Sun Press, one of the "finest small presses of the twentieth century". In 1924, the Crosbys went public with their first book. The following year, they each published their first collections of verse. Harry commissioned Alastair - a "spectacularly camp" German creator of beautifully decadent and Gothic fantasies - to illustrate his second collection, Red Skeletons. Soon they were issuing works by other writers, including Poe, James, Wilde, Joyce and D. H. Lawrence.
