Small quarto. 44ff. Frost's second book of poetry is here published in a centenary edition by Scott Vile of the Ascensius Press. In homage to Joseph Blumenthal, Frost's limited edition printer, Vile set the title page in a digital rendition of Spiral type and printed the book in Frost black ink. Illustrated with three tipped-in photographic reproductions: two by Larry Hayden, and the third the famous portrait of Frost writing in his Morris chair at his Derry, NH farm. Bound by Gray Parrot in full brown cloth, with gilt-tooled label to spine, echoing the minimal ornamentation in the first edition bindings. A tasteful, fitting tribute to one of Frost's most complex books. As new in publisher's cloth folding case.
