Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1983. First Edition. First Impression. Octavo (23.5cm); pictorial cloth-covered boards; x,[3],4-251,[252-254]pp. This copy is from the library of to Puerto Rican editor, translator, and literary critic Roberto Marquez, with his ink markings and notations throughout the text, and inscribed to him by the author on the title page: "To Robert / as a token of my highest esteem and my admiration for your work / Keith." Base of spine gently nudged, light wear to extremities, with a few dog-eared pages; Very Good and sound, without dustjacket, as issued.

Scholarly work on the writings of Nicolás Guillén (1902-1989), with a particularly generous inscription to Marquez, who has written extensively on Guillén, and has translated several of the poet's works faithfully from Spanish into English. A nice association linking two Guillén scholars. Uncommon inscribed.
