Item description from seller

Book Condition: Good. Six issues of POETRY (October 1939 – March 1940) are bound together, which is doubtlessly why they are still in very good condition. The text block is in very good condition with no tears, dog ears, or marks. The pages are age-tanned. The final signature containing the index to the entire volume is beginning to pull away from the binding, but those are the only pages doing so. The endpapers are in good condition. The green cloth cover is in fair to poor condition: shelf-rubbed, corner-bumped, spotted, and soiled. The spine is sun-faded, soiled, and bumped, top and bottom. As sad as the cover looks, it has protected the six issues from damage. 8 x 5 ¾”, 348 pages, 18 ounces. XX Poets published in this volume include: Conrad Aiken, Nelson Algren, John Ciardi, Robinson Jeffers, Kenneth Patchen, Muriel Rukeyser, Gertrude Stein, Dylan Thomas, Edmund Wilson. There are also reviews of poetry collections. XX Now in its 105th year of publication, POETRY, A MAGAZINE OF VERSE has been a major force in American poetry. [Wikipedia information]: The magazine was founded in 1912 by Harriet Monroe, an author who was then working as an art critic for the Chicago Tribune. She wrote at that time: “The Open Door will be the policy of this magazine—may the great poet we are looking for never find it shut, or half-shut, against his ample genius! To this end the editors hope to keep free from entangling alliances with any single class or school. They desire to print the best English verse which is being written today, regardless of where, by whom, or under what theory of art it is written. Nor will the magazine promise to limit its editorial comments to one set of opinions." In a circular she sent to poets, Monroe said the magazine offered: "First, a chance to be heard in their own place, without the limitations imposed by the popular magazine. In other words, while the ordinary magazines must minister to a large public little interested in poetry, this magazine will appeal to, and it may be hoped, will develop, a public primarily interested in poetry as an art, as the highest, most complete expression of truth and beauty.".
