First edition. With a quote by Amy Clampitt at the rear panel. 8vo, 102pp; (including notes and acknowledgments); gray linen cloth stamped in silver at front and spine; pictorial dust jacket with "L'Hiver" by Abel Grimmer at the front cover. Surface scratch to rear panel of dust jacket. Generally fine. The rear panel quotes the Amy Clampitt's citation for the American Academy of Arts and Letters Witter Bynner Prize for Poetry: “HENRY PURCELL IN JAPAN, Mary Jo Salter's first book of poems, was notable for its maturity of outlook and its liveliness and purity of feeling. Her second, UNFINISHED PAINTING, is informed by these same qualities, as well as by a deepening tragic sense and by a mastery of the formal resources for dealing with private and public grief which is above all the mark of a true poet". The book appeared just a few months prior to Clampitt's death. By this time, Mary Jo Salter and Amy Clampitt had become friends as well as colleagues. Salter later edited THE COLLECTED POEMS OF AMY CLAMPITT.

Whether one prefers to consider these pieces prose or poetry, they are illuminated by Atwood's great intelligence and wit.

First edition. Review copy with the publisher's slip laid in. 8vo, xiv, 80pp; orange cloth lettered in black at the spine; white dust jacket printed in black and deep orange. Light wear along top edge of dust jacket with a 1/4" closed tear at the front cover (near the spine). Very good. The poet's first book. Cynthia MacDonald (b. 1928) studied at Bennington and Sarah Lawrence. Trained in opera, she performed in concerts and in operas. She taught at Sarah Lawrence and Johns Hopkins and helped found the University of Houston Graduate Creative Writing Program. AMPUTATIONS was followed by TRANSPLANTS (1976); (W)HOLES (1980); ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORT (1985): LIVING WILLS (1991); and I CAN'T REMEMBER (1997). She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an award from the National Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, in addition to numerous other prizes. One critic notes that she "writes poems stressing the intermittent music of the modern mind trying to achieve wholeness".

Four poems omitted from the collections published in 1923 and 1930 : "A Verse Fragment"; "Love Cycle"; "Winter Bird"; and "The Butterfly".
