Jack Gilbert / Tough Heaven Poems of Pittsburgh signed 1st Edition 2006

Description: Tough Heaven, Poems of Pittsburgh - signed Author: Gilbert, Jack Title: Tough Heaven, Poems of Pittsburgh - signed Publication: North Truro, MA: Pond Road Press, 2006 Edition: First Printing Description: Wraps. 9 x 6 inches, softcover, fine copy. Signed on the title page by Gilbert. One of perhaps 50 copies signed. This is one of the few copies that the publisher retained, and, heartbreakingly, one can get a real sense of Gilbert's steep decline into dementia as he messes up writing his name, scratches it out and writes it again. A lovely production. 24 pp. With large postcard prospectus laid in. Startling to everybody at the time, Gilbert managed to keep on writing revelatory poetry in his last few years, tapping into a wellspring and a place in his brain the dementia could not touch. Fine.
