NY: Viking (1975). First Edition. A fine association copy, INSCRIBED by Ashbery to writer Nicholas Delbanco: "for Nick / fondly / John / Ashbery / 2/1/94." Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and arguably one of the most important poetry volumes of the late 20th century. Edges of boards lightly faded as usual, else fine in an almost fine jacket with one short edge tear.
