Seller's Description:
SIGNED. Fine and bright glossy stiff wraps with strong spine and clean text. From the library of poet Janine Pommy Vega, a good friend, and it shows in the inscription from Maureen signed to Janine and dated from Guilford CT on the half title page. As was Janine's want with many of her books, a tiny corner may be turned down on a page. This was where Janine signified a poem that she loved to read often in schools or prisons. Maureen's book has at least a dozen turn downs.
