Erstausgabe
badly torn dust-jacket, front and back detached, most of spine missing, very good red and white cloth. BURKE, KENNETH. Book of moments: poems 1915-1954. Los Altos, Calif.: Hermes Publications, 1955, stated First Edition, 96pp., . Author s Note: REGRETTABLY, I cannot offer this little book as the work of a professional poet. But over the years, every once in a while, for one reason or another, I felt like writing some verses. And here is a selection from them. They are mood pieces, hence somewhat "irresponsible" in their way of cancelling out one another. Each was written wholly in the spirit of the occasion on which it was written. But I believe that in their collectedness (as Steps Along the Way between 1915 and 1954) they form a kind of story, or development, relevant to our current concerns. The items are in effect like excerpts from a sporadic personal diary. Thus, I dare fondly assure myself that, while they are offered for their appeal as poetry, they may also serve a "documentary" purpose, by helping put into proper perspective some of the past public and private motives that have become obscured by the socio-political overemphases of the immediate "global" moment. They happen to range from the fiercely virginal days of adolescence, through love and politics and kindred conundrums, to a few disportings of the elderly-portly. I have also added several batches of "Flowerishes" prose epigrams on the Human Scramble, entries jig-sawed together in many typographical shapes. Consciously, I adopted this topsy-turvy style of presentation because of my belief that, when epigrams are printed in the conventional manner, the reader s eye speeds too quickly from one item to the next. But perhaps unconsciously the tangled designs were adopted as a kind of doodle (picturing the form of the mind), in response to a feeling that realistic observations can emerge these days only somewhat dizzily, as from a muddle.
