1999rif. 29545Lincoln:: University of Nebraska Press 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Originally published in France in 1934 Break of Day is André Breton’s second collection of critical and polemical essays following The Lost Steps. In fewer than two hundred pages Breton captures the first full decade of the surrealist movement. The collection opens with an essay composed in 1924 that examines key elements of surrealism and concludes with Breton’s harsh revaluation in 1933 of automatic writing. Among the other essays are “Burial Denied” and “In Self-Defense” two pieces that “mark surrealism’s conscious break from the mainstream and the beginning of its attempts to work alongside the French Communist Party.” Also included are “Psychiatry Standing before Surrealism” which addresses Breton’s complex ambivalent views on mental illness and the emerging psychiatric establishment; “Introduction to Achim von Arnim's Strange Tales” which reveals surrealism’s debt to such precursors as the German romantics and delineates a surrealistic aesthetic of the macabre; and “Picasso in His Element” in which Breton demonstrates his formidable talents as a critic of the visual arts.

2004rif. 29578Cambridge:: Da Capo Press 2004. First Hardcover Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with slight fading to the spine. With the grace and precision that are the hallmarks of her work Oliver shows us how writing "is a way of offering praise to the world" and suggests we see her poems as "little alleluias." Whether describing a goosefish stranded at low tide the feeling of being baptized by the mist from a whale's blowhole or the "connection between soul and landscape" Oliver invites readers to find themselves and their experiences at the center of her world. In Long Life she also speaks of poets and writers: Wordsworth's "whirlwind" of "beauty and strangeness"; Hawthorne's "sweet-tempered" side; and Emerson's belief that "a man's inclination once awakened to it would be to turn all the heavy sails of his life to a moral purpose."

2016rif. 29338New York:: Penguin Press 2016. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine price-clipped dust jacket. In these essays Mary Oliver reflects on her willingness as a young child and as an adult to lose herself within the beauty and mysteries of both the natural world and the world of literature. Emphasizing the significance of her childhood “friend” Walt Whitman through whose work she first understood that a poem is a temple “a place to enter and in which to feel” and who encouraged her to vanish into the world of her writing Oliver meditates on the forces that allowed her to create a life for herself out of work and love. Upstream follows Oliver as she contemplates the pleasure of artistic labor her boundless curiosity for the flora and fauna that surround her and the responsibility she has inherited from Shelley Wordsworth Emerson Poe and Frost the great thinkers and writers of the past to live thoughtfully intelligently and to observe with passion.
