Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. SONNETS ANTHOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY VERSE BY RALPH CHEYNEY 1939 WOODCUTS HC DJ. I was surprised to learn that this book is actually quite scarce if not rare; only one copy found online. And yet it is titled: Sonnets- An Anthology of Contemporary Verse edited by Ralph Cheyney. The book is nicely decorated throughout with woodcuts by Frank Utpatel. Ralph Cheyney was an American Poet, married to another American Poet (Lucia Trent) and together they edited and published the literary magazine Contemporary Vision. Cheyney and Trent were both known for their activism and poetry addressing pressing social issues of the day. The Artist Frank Utpatel was best known for his science fiction and fantasy art although he also did striking woodcuts, like those found in this book. This largish hard cover book (7 ¾ x 10 ¼ inches, 160 pages) was published by Henry Harrison, the Poetry Publisher of New York dated 1939 and presumably a First Edition. The book is bound in gray cloth with maroon titles on the cover and spine and protected by an opaque glassine dust jacket. Condition: This book is in very good condition. There is some wear to the dust jacket including multiple small chips and tears (please see the photos). The hard covers are clean and still bright with some light bumping to the rear corners. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages and woodcuts are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. I am pleased to offer a very rare printing of a book out of the age of radical activist poets. Please find: Lady Godiva and St. Satyr- An Open Letter to Robinson Jeffers and Other Poems and Prose by Lucia Trent and Ralph Cheyney. Somewhere along the line I encountered a bit of information about the authors which I transcribe below in brief for those of you who like me are not familiar with this creative pair of writers, to wit: Trent was born in Richmond, Virginia, the daughter of Alice (Lyman) and William Peterfield Trent (1862-1939). Trent married Edward Ralph Cheyney around 1926. Trent and Cheyney (also a poet) edited the literary magazine Contemporary Vision. For some years Trent was the book editor of The Nation. An activist like her husband, Trent published many works intended to raise the consciousness of the middle and working classes, including Children of Fire and Shadow (1929) and Thank You, America! (1937). After Ralph Cheyney died, Lucia Trent married Ernest Glass, and lived with him in Austin, Texas until her passing. This medium-sized soft cover booklet (7x 10 ? inches 53 pages) and bound with blue string was published by Ben & Isabel Hagglund of Las Animas Colorado dated 1941 (please see the photo of the colophon). It is warmly signed by Lucia Trent to the former owner. It opens with an interesting Foreword by E. Merrill Root and was illustrated by the 11-year-old son of the Authors. The boards are blue cardboard.
