First edition.
Inscribed to Peter Matthiessen ["Dear Peter,"] on the front endpaper and signed "My very warmest regards / Peter Damm". Additionally, a one-page autograph letter signed to Peter Matthiessen is laid in. Damm reminds Matthiessen that many years back, he interviewed him for The Berkeley Monthly Magazine. "This book of poems was just recently published. I wanted to give it to you as a small token of thanks for the inspiration you and your work have given to me over the past many years.." . Fine .
