Edizione originale. CON DEDICA Ottimo esemplare impreziosito dalla dedica autografa di Pascoli «al mio amato compagno Leandro Biadene | Giovanni Pascoli | Pisa 22 maggio 1905». Leonardo Biadene, destinatario della dedica, fu suo compagno di università nel biennio 1880-1882. Rara edizione originale nell’emissione autonoma (i componimenti vincitori erano pubblicati anche in un volume collettaneo). Con il «Fanum Apollinis», scritto nel 1904, Pascoli si aggiudicò la nona medaglia d’oro al Certamen poetico di Amsterdam. L’ispirazione per la scrittura dell’opera, però, venne al poeta qualche anno prima, e precisamente nel 1897, come confessò a Valgimigli, «quando per la prima volta andò e ritornò da Messina, e vide dal treno le colonne del tempio di Pesto. Anzi, idea e fantasia gli si fermarono e formarono nella mente anche come romanzo; che fu annunziato nella copertina della prima edizione dei “Poemetti” presso l’editore Roberto Paggi, Firenze 1897, col titolo “L’ultimo sacerdote di Apollo”. [...] Se non che il libro [...] per controversia editoriale con la casa Zanichelli non fu mai pubblicato» (Pascoli, «Carmina», ed. Valgimigli, pp. 647-8). Raro, 5 copie in Iccu. Pascoli, «Poesie e prose scelte», a cura di Cesare Garboli, volume II, pp. 1204 sgg.; Pascoli, «Carmina», ed. Valgimigli, pp. 316-29, 647-8, 713; Gambetti - Vezzosi, «Rarità bibliografiche», p. 642.
Rara edizione originale nell’emissione autonoma (i componimenti vincitori erano pubblicati anche in un volume collettaneo). CON DEDICA Timbro di appartenenza alla prima carta, bell’esemplare intonso pregiato dalla dedica autografa dell’autore in latino «Theodosio frati minori | Johannes frater minimus». Scritta nel 1909, «Pomponia Graecina» sarà premiata nel 1910 ad Amsterdam con la medaglia d’oro al Certamen Hoeufftianum, l’undicesima vinta da Pascoli. L’opera trae spunto da un episodio riportato negli «Annales» di Tacito, come scrive lo stesso Pascoli: la protagonista Pomponia Graecina viene accusata dal marito di seguire uno strano culto religioso, che il poeta interpreta come il cristianesimo. Una seconda fonte sarebbe da rintracciare in «Quo Vadis?», dove lo stesso personaggio femminile si presenta in veste romanzata. La notizia dell’ennesima vittoria al Certamen di Amsterdam passerà quasi inosservata in Italia (Paradisi, «Contributi alla storia del Pascoli latino», p. 39, n. 18): per una ristampa del componimento si dovette attendere l’edizione dei «Carmina» curata da Pistelli per Zanichelli nel 1915. Piuttosto rara, una decina di copie in Iccu. P. Paradisi, «Contributi alla storia del Pascoli latino: il poeta “Hoeufftianus”», in «Camenae» n° 16 - Janvier 2014 (http://lettres.sorbonne-universite.fr/IMG/pdf/6_Paradisi.pdf); Pascoli, «Carmina», ed.

Prima edizione. CON DEDICA Esemplare 31 di 500 numerati, in ottime condizioni (fisiologica scoloritura al dorso e ai margini esterni dei piatti, leggere fioriture alle carte e alla brossura). Dedica autografa di Salvatore Quasimodo (dedicatario abraso) datata «maggio 932 Imperia». Prima edizione, parzialmente originale: pubblica infatti diciotto poesie apparse in preoriginale su periodici («Circoli» e «Solaria») e diciannove inedite. Seconda opera dell’autore. Tiratura di 500 copie numerate (oltre a una serie di testa di 15 copie legate in pelle e numerate con lettere dell’alfabeto). Il libro «confluirà, dieci anni dopo, nel mondadoriano «Ed è subito sera», ma con varianti davvero cospicue, senza più le originarie partizioni interne e mutato nella sequenza delle singole poesie, spesso modificate nei titoli e private delle dediche presenti nella prima edizione. Ma il volume edito da Circoli è di fondamentale importanza anche per ciò che rappresenta nella produzione di Quasimodo, in direzione di un approfondimento dei temi che diverranno classici della sua poesia, dal mito della Sicilia e dell’infanzia contrapposta allo smarrimento dell’uomo moderno, al senso dell’esilio e della solitudine dopo la perdita dell’innocenza [...]» (Iannaccone).

1943List3433Reading Vermont 1943. 156 pp with approximately 207 poems plus a 1934 rejection letter from Perry Mason & Co. Spine broken cover nearly detached and pages coming detached; some toning and wear to edges of pages with smell. Overall very good minus. A book of poems by Vermonter Mary S. Fay likely 1875–1968. Fay’s topics include friends’ special events; current events such as “Titanic†May 15 1912 and “America We Are Ready†1915 presumably concerning World War I; nature themes and seasonal poems; and especially nostalgic and sometimes defensive poems about Vermont including “Strike Not The Land That Shelters†which was “Written on learning slurs cast in Vermont by alliens who come to Vermont to resideâ€.<br /> <br /> However Fay sometimes took up expressly political causes in her poetry. For instance in April 1911 she penned “Equal Rights Proclaimingâ€:<br /> <br /> “Sister Woman look ahead / For there dawns the gladsome time / When thy queen Equal rights treads / O’er the land with light sublime: / O raise your voice on high / Loudly in sweet acclaim / ‘Till they reach yonder sky / And there the rights proclaim. . Sister Woman of today / Thou have striven long and well / Thou’ve waited in twilight grief / For the ring of Freedoms bell. / Though at times all seem’d as lost / Thou upheld thy banner height; / And you counted not the cost / But press’d onward thru’ the night.â€<br /> <br /> In March 1915 she took up the topic again in a poem titled “Enfranchisementâ€:<br /> <br /> “Fled the years of servile shame! / Woman ‘tis this hour at last / Honor thy glorious name / Spread thy banner to the blast. / Brave my sisters in thy might / Steadfast yet and valiant be; / On thy noble standard write / Equality law and liberty. . Enfranchisement thus we vow / Shall be ours ere we abate / Our strife which thru and thru / Of our life’s blood we consecrate / Upon the altar upon the shield / Equality for all eternity; / Shall be ours at home afield:- / Equality law and liberty.â€<br /> <br /> Despite the efforts of groups such as the Vermont Equal Suffrage Association formed in the early 1880s Vermont women did not get the right to vote until the rest of the country did ratifying the Nineteenth Amendment in 1921.<br /> <br /> She also writes an intriguing more general protest poem seemingly for labor rights titled “Justice Where†August 1911:<br /> <br /> “Tho labor’s toils in day by day / Beneath the heat and the cold; / While the oppresser sits in grandest state / With a mere pittance to pay / To keep hunger from the fold / And in false pride his tyranny relate. / Awake all ye toilers / Drive at the oppresor bold! / Unfurl thy glorious standard of Right / O’er many a dear home fold / And thus ever protect it with thy might.â€<br /> <br /> Another of Fay’s causes was temperance; in 1914 she wrote “A Temperance Boy†dedicated to “six year old Clark A. Ritchieâ€:<br /> <br /> “A little temperance boy am I / And proudly its banner I will fly. / Pure cold water is what I drink / And its the best of all I think. / A big promise don’t expect of me / for I’m only a little boy you see.â€<br /> She objects to smoking as well writing in “Why is it†1932 that “I must relate / smoking I hate. / ‘Be a sport girls’ / That is the cry / If in the whirl / They are a bit shy.â€<br /> <br /> Overall a charming document of a woman’s progressive politics expressed in verse. unknown
