196128613<p>Minneapolis :: University of Minnesota 1961. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy with a touch of rubbing to the board edges in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Author's First Book. This copy is inscribed anf signed by Hugo. Richard Hugo was a poet of the Pacific Northwest yet his renown attests to a stature greater than that of most "regional" poets. He is noted for the tight rhythmic control of his language and lines and for the sharp sense of place evoked in his poems. Hugo's images are urgent and compelling; he imbues the many minute or seemingly irrelevant details found in his poems with a subtle significance thereby creating a tension between the particular and the universal. This tension is considered central to Hugo's most powerful poems. In his poems Hugo reflected as much upon the internal region of the individual as on the external region of the natural world and he considered these two deeply interconnected.</p> University of Minnesota, hardcover
51-6742Paris: mainly 1990s. About 200 pages: extracts from auctions exhibitions and dealer catalogues.archive by Pierre Spivakoff 1933-2012….Valentine Gross met her future husband Jean Hugo grandson of the influential French author Victor Hugo in 1917 at the home of Mimi and Cypa Godebski. In 1919 they were married with Cocteau and Satie as their only witnesses. Neither of Jean's parents consented to the marriage perhaps contributing to its eventual demise.In March of 1926 Valentine attended one of the first Surrealist expositions where she met Paul Éluard. Their meeting sparked a friendship that would continue until his death in 1952. In 1927 after working as costume designer on the set of La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc Valentine returned to Paris a full-fledged Surrealist; Jean Hugo however never embraced the Surrealist movement. In the years following their hurried nuptials their tastes diverged leading to separation in 1929 and finally divorce in 1932. Despite the end of their marital relations Valentine and Jean remained friends until her death in 1968.Provenance: Pierre Spivakoff 1933-2012…Après des études au Cours Simon Pierre Spivakoff crée à Paris le tout premier café-théâtre « Le Royal » situé boulevard Raspail où il met en scène des pièces de Fey¬deau Ionesco Dumas Rachilde Molière et Corneille.
