Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition. First edition. 292, [3] pp. 1 vols. Square 8vo. Inscribed with tipped-in typescripts and manuscripts. Inscribed by two of the contributors, Valeri Perelesin and Yuriy Kruzenshtern-Peterets, to a Professor Ramit (Rannit?) in Washington, 1972. Throughout are tipped-in a half-dozen typescript or manuscripts, likely essays on the poems or by the poets, each signed by the poets. A collection of poetry written in Harbin from the 1920s-1946, the title Islands referring to the refuge that their poetry gave to them during the war and the Japanese occupation. Harbin was a Russian outpost in China, populated by railroad workers and Russian Jews, it had a culture that was more European than Chinese, but the poetry that was written there synthesized the many cultures that met at this crossroads. Adept with languages, Perelesin worked as a translator, and his multilingual and multicultural background suffuses his poetry, which is marked by a clarity of imagery, and which was published in influential migr journals, despite his geographical isolation from the Russian publishing apparatuses. A rare collection of manuscript material from the outer reaches of the Russian Diaspora. Not in OCLC Printed wrappers. Some soiling, a bit shaken. Very good 292, [3] pp. 1 vols. Square 8vo.
