Target: Preliminary Poems

Red cloth boards. From the library of Ishe and Brian Marley: blind embossed ex-library stamp to title page. Limited to 300 copies, of which 100 only are signed by the poet. Our copy is signed to the limitation page at the back, as well as to half-title. It is also INSCRIBED to f.f.e. to Brian Marley: “with much love and respect, Jeremy, Nov/73”. It looks like this copy was privately bound. (The original publication appears to have been in stapled wrappers.) *** Jeremy Reed’s first publication: poems written at the age of nineteen and others “at still a younger age” (according to the poet’s introduction).
