Anne Sexton Signed Galley & First Edition, The Death Notebooks
About the Item
The proof (printed before the hardcover, sent out to reviewers) and final first printing, first edition of American poet, Anne Sexton's final collection of poetry printed in her lifetime.
Inscribed, "This proof is a ghastly mess," signed, and dated by Anne sexton, the proof is one of very few that survive. That this pair of artifacts represents the final output of the Pulitzer-prize winning, rock star poet makes them especially collectible.
Both, galley and finished hardcover are in excellent condition. The final book is not signed, only the galley.
Anne Sexton was the best-selling and most famous poet of her generation. Her readings attracted audiences in the thousands.

Pair Folk Art Paintings on Wood Panel, 1980s, by Moses Tolliver "MoseT"
Located in Southbury, CT
My uncle Bob was a country lawyer in rural Alabama and Moses Tolliver was one of his friends and clients. The pair of original paintings you see here were given to my uncle by Mr. Tolliver in exchange for legal services in the 1980s.
Both the human figure and the snake were painted on scrap wood paneling and each has an aluminum beer pull-tab on the back for hanging. The works have been framed so the pull tab is not visible; if you prefer, simply remove the frames and both pieces will be as created.
The snake painting...
