Collection of poems. The first and only edition. Published by a fine press in an extremely small and limited print run as a paperback original only. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. Poems by Jessica Hagedorn and Pamela Hagedorn Woo. Without DJ, as issued. In a celebrated New Yorker Magazine review, Jessica Hagedorn was praised by John Updike, the most influential reviewer/critic in America, as one of the finest writers of her generation. Harold Bloom, the greatest living literary critic, weighed in and wrote that "Hagedorn expresses the conflicts experienced by Asian immigrants caught between cultures. She takes aim at racism in the United States and develops in her dramas the themes of displacement and the search for belonging". A "must-have" title for Jessica Hagedorn collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in glossy pink marker on the title page by Jessica Hagedorn. The signature glows beautifully against the light. This title has been out-of-print for a very long time and is now virtually impossible to find. This is the only copy available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A very scarce signed copy thus. Finalist for the National Book Award in 1990 for "Dogeaters". Voted the Best Book of the Year by the Before Columbus Foundation. One of the most brilliant living American writers. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JESSICA HAGEDORN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 087924061X. $70.00
