1996Best.-Nr. 1697Ireland: Salmon Poetry 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. A neat association copy not signed but laid in is a postcard written and signed by both Adrienne Rich and Irish poet Eavan Boland who wrote the eight-page foreword to this Irish edition of Rich's selected poems. The postcard depicts John Steinbeck on 17 Mile Drive in Carmel on its front and is addressed to Boland's husband Kevin Casey in Dublin. Rich writes: "Dear Kevin we missed you here today in 'East of Eden' country! It's good news that you & E. & S. are coming in March -- I hope very much to see you all then. Adrienne." Boland follows: "We had a lovely lovely day in Salinas. Much much love -- E." Steinbeck was born and raised in Salinas Boland taught at Stanford where Steinbeck went to college and Rich lived in Santa Cruz and also for a time taught at Stanford--a nice Northern California literary association all around. Also laid in on two printed pages is an exchange of emails between Rich and Boland forwarded to Casey in which Rich sends unexpected regrets about not being able to travel to Ireland and sends a list of poems she planned to read at an event presumably from this book while giving Boland permission to read other poems as she'd like. Rich was one of the twentieth century's most influential feminist poets and won the National Book Award for Diving Into the Wreck. Boland championed the role of women in Irish history in her verse and was the winner of a Lannan Literary Award among many other international honors. A fine book in a very good jacket with light sunning greening to the spine and otherwise on trace edge wear. Salmon Poetry hardcover
