Description: Night Light Author: JUSTICE, Donald [Mark Strand -- association] Title: Night Light Publication: Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, (1967) Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. Squarish octavo, 77pp. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's grey cloth, just a touch shaken, and with the spine a tinge cocked. In a very good dust jacket with some light rubbing along the extremities. A presentation copy with a pleasing association, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Justice to fellow poet Mark Strand and his then-wife Antonia in the year of publication: "This copy is for Mark & Antonia, who kept the light on. Don Justice, March 1967." Laid in is a postcard, postmarked in August of 1970, from Justice to Strand: "Aug 22. Dear Mark--Went to the horse races Monday, decided to apply my new irrational 'system' of betting my age in perfectas, & in the very 1st race on which I did so, 45 came in, paying $269.80 for $2. Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary--fantastic! Perhaps I should switch to betting 23 now. I might as well amuse myself, if possible--I don't seem to be able to concentrate on any 'work' here: it's climate & family, I think. Love, Don." On pp. 40-41 there are some light pencil edits to the poem "The Missing Person," likely in either Justice's or Strand's hand. A meaningful presentation copy, with some correspondence that sheds light on Justice's life in the years following the publication of his fourth book of poetry. Near fine / very good.
