First edition

New York: Harper Collins, 2001. First edition. An uncorrected proof copy in plain blue wrappers of this volume of poems, with pub material laid in. Publicity sticker with contact info attached to covers. Using the Islamic poetic form the ghazal, Bly invokes western figures from Abraham to Xerxes to do what poets like Rumi did best with it: write about god and love. Very fine.
