First edition, inscribed ‘With all best wishes, Randall Jarrell / I’ve … enjoyed getting to read for you’.
Bridson met Jarrell (along with Nemerov, Snodgrass and Berryman) at the National Poetry Festival in Washington in 1962, and made recordings of him reading his work. He recalled seeing Jarrell’s lecture on the last 50 years of American poetry there, ‘still dazed’ from the breaking news of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The recordings were broadcast on 10 April 1963.
