Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Book Condition: Fair. Six issues of POETRY (April - September 1941) are bound together, which is doubtlessly why they are still in fairly good condition. The text block is in good condition with no dog ears, but there are a few check marks by poems and there are some page edges nibbled on by silverfish (with no effect on the text). The pages are age-tanned. Some of the signatures are beginning to pull slightly away from the binding but are not detached. The endpapers are in good condition. The bookplate of a prior owner is loose but included. The green cloth cover is in fair condition: shelf-rubbed, spotted, slightly bowed, and soiled. The spine is sun-faded, soiled, and bumped, top and bottom. 8 x 5 ¾", 352 pages, 18 ounces. XX Nelson Algren, Walter de la Mare, Peter De Vries, Langston Hughes, Harold Rosenberg, William Saroyan, Karl J. Shapiro, and many others. There are also reviews of poetry collections. XX Now in its 108th year of publication, POETRY, A MAGAZINE OF VERSE has been a major force in American poetry. [Wikipedia information]: The magazine was founded in 1912 by Harriet Monroe, an author who was then working as an art critic for the Chicago Tribune. She wrote at that time: "The Open Door will be the policy of this magazine—may the great poet we are looking for never find it shut, or half-shut, against his ample genius! To this end the editors hope to keep free from entangling alliances with any single class or school. They desire to print the best English verse which is being written today, regardless of where, by whom, or under what theory of art it is written. Nor will the magazine promise to limit its editorial comments to one set of opinions." In a circular she sent to poets, Monroe said the magazine offered: "First, a chance to be heard in their own place, without the limitations imposed by the popular magazine. In other words, while the ordinary magazines must minister to a large public little interested in poetry, this magazine will appeal to, and it may be hoped, will develop, a public primarily interested in poetry as an art, as the highest, most complete expression of truth and beauty.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2004 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: This volume discusses the narrative of the creation of heaven, earth and light in the first chapter of Genesis and focuses extensively on its later interpretations in different cultural and religious contexts. After an introductory paper on the text of Genesis itself, the authors deal with receptions of this theme in the Prophet Jeremiah, Early Judaism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. They comment on creation accounts in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece and ancient philosophy, reconstructing the earliest known receptions of Genesis 1 in ancient philosophers like Numenius and Galen. They trace its influence in the Johannine, Petrine and Pauline traditions of Early Christianity, and follow it right through the Middle Ages up till the present-day discussion of design in Nature.
