FRANCIS, Robert (1901-87)
Typed Manuscript Signed
This respected Amherst Massachusetts poet was a famously thrifty and eccentric New Englander called by Robert Frost America's most neglected poet; his first volume was "Stand With Me Here" 1936 and while he published few volumes his concise intense deeply personal verse gained him a loyal following. TMS on inner panel of a 6½" X 4½" heavy stock Christmas card n.p. n.y. Fine. Front glossy panel features color photograph of lit candles amidst sprigs of evergreen and poinsettias and "Season's Greetings" card against blue background; opening at top the lower inside panel displays a printed seasonal message in red while the blank upper panel features a greeting so carefully phrased it's not a stretch to consider it an unrhymed poem. Titled "For all the children in Mr. Bean's class" it reads: "Thank you thank you for your gifts -- the / Thanksgiving card and the Christmas card / the paperweight that you made and the stamps. / May Christmas bless you all. / With love" and boldly signed in black ballpoint. Most unusual one of a kind and quite attractive. Undated but likely of early 1980s vintage. unknown
