Foreword
Marie Bullock, although not a household name, is justly celebrated as one of the
most beneficent supporters that poetry has had in this country. When she founded
the Academy of American Poets in 1934, in the depths of the depression,

American poetry was perceived – when it was perceived at all — as provincial
and negligible. Indeed, many of the best American poets went abroad to find an
artistic home. Bernard Shaw famously quipped in a letter to Mrs. Bullock: “Are
there any living American poets? They have not come my way yet. Or stop! Ezra
Pound. He’s a poet isn’t he?” Under her leadership the Academy survived the
difficult early years, and, after the war, it flourished, becoming a major sponsor
of poets through its awards, grants, and educational programs, as well as of the
public appreciation of poetry through readings, publications, and events.
Marie Bullock did not exactly set out to collect rare books. The 1000 books in
this catalogue do, however, include some notable rarities and high spots:
Hopkins’s Poems in dust jacket, the Josiah Lilly copy of Housman’s A
Shropshire Lad, Eliot’s Poems 1909-1925 in its severely limited edition, Brash
and Reid’s rare Glasgow chapbooks featuring Robert Burns, among several
others. There are also extensive collections of poets she particularly admired:
Frost, Millay, Robinson, de la Mare. Yet this collection is not the work of a
fetishist or speculator. Rather, it is the testament of a life devoted to the love of
poetry: American and English, new and old, traditional and innovative. It is,
furthermore, a reflection of Mrs. Bullock’s catholic tastes and her generosity as a
reader. The occasional notes that are laid into some of these books demonstrate
that she brought the same degree of attention and sympathy to reading the work
of unknown poets as she did to the work of the most famous poets of her day. We
offer this catalogue as a tribute to Marie Bullock’s love of poetry and her
commitment to direct and concrete support of poetry and poets. Her true legacy is
the Academy as it continues to serve those same constituents.
Marie Bullock
Many young women have a passion for poetry but in most of them that passion
cools considerably, if not entirely, as they grow older. This did not happen to
Marie Bullock. Her attention to the art of poetry and to its creators grew ever
stronger with age. Her schooling in France and her early exposure to French
perhaps made her keenly aware of English and of its potent distillation in poetry.
As this library clearly shows, her taste was not limited or governed by current
fashion. When she decided to form the Academy of American Poets, she went off

at once to England to seek the advice and blessing of Walter de la Mare, a poet
certainly not then much in vogue. Sidney Lanier had been almost totally
forgotten in this country in the 1960s when she asked me with some urgency to
make a selection of his poems and to comment on them for The Poetry Pilot, the
modest journal of the Academy, which she edited with grace and verve.
Marie Bullock was an uncommon renaissance woman with a common touch.
When workers went on strike throughout New York and services had everywhere
been suspended, she volunteered to operate the service elevator in her apartment
building. With the power and privilege that her social position provided, she
might have chosen, as did many others in her station, to limit her activities to a
small sphere. She believed that although the art of poetry is not democratic (not
everyone is Shakespeare), the appreciation of it can be. By widening and
strengthening such appreciation, she might make poets of every sort feel worthy
and welcome in society and thus help them produce poetry of enduring value.

The Odes I am sure are by far the best stuff I have published, though they have been received
more coldly than any work of mine. Still they have found appreciation, some of it
enthusiastic, from friends & others whose judgment should count for a good deal. . .” Signed

(1795-1798). First editions (thus). Four volumes, 12mos., engraved title page in each volume

spine labels, marbled endpapers. Bookplate of John Gribbel in each volume; some occasional
spots to covers, otherwise a fine set. Rare complete set of Brash and Reid’s poetry
chapbooks, issued as penny pamphlets throughout the years of publication, and offered in
bound sets, each containing twenty-four of the pamphlets. There were an additonal three
chapbooks issued separately following the last of the bound sets. While as many as half of
the poems are uncredited to any author, the run is especially notable for including some
thirty poems of Robert Burns, including an early and popular printing of Burns’s “Tam O’
Shanter” (here in the second issue, with two Ls in “Alloway Kirk.”) In the Records of the
Glasgow Bibliographic Society, J.C. Ewing has noted that the Brash and Reid Chapbooks
“have long been valued rather on account of their rarity than of their contents. . . So long ago
as 1827 it was recorded in print that the work ‘is now extremely scarce.’” This set is from
the library of John Gribbel, the great Phildelphia collector of Burns and Burnsiana. Egerer

POET’S MANUSCRIPT
387. HILLYER, ROBERT. Manuscript notebook. (Paris, 1919). 8vo composition book, 68pp,
clothbound. Shaken, spine worn, last leaf (blank) torn. The poet’s notebook, filled with
poetry during a European sojourn. A title page has been fashioned boldly by hand in pencil
reading: “Robert Hillyer Paris 15 Mars MCMXIX.” The poems within, written in ink and
some with autograph corrections, are dated 1918 and 1919. In a somewhat later hand, Hillyer
has noted on the title page: “”Poems for The Five Books of Youth and unpublished poems.”
One page contains small sketches of houses. A significant notebook of early work by Hillyer.
Acknowledged as a major poet at mid-century – his Collected Verse was the 1934 Pulitzer
Prize-winner – Hillyer occupied a prominent position in American letters for many years and
served as an Academy chancellor from 1949 to 1961. Owing in part to changing cultural
tastes and in part, perhaps not unrelately, to his leading role in the opposition to Ezra
Pound’s receipt of the Bollingen Prize in 1949, Hillyer’s reputation endured a long and steep

389. HILLYER, ROBERT. Manuscript Notebook. (London, 1920). 8vo composition book, 292
pp, clothbound A bit shaken, covers rubbed. Working notebook, virtually filled with poems
and drafts of poems in pencil and ink, most texts being quite heavily re-worked. A
handwritten title page reads: “Robert Hillyer, London, 7 September/20, Queen Elizabeth’s
Birthday. A year ago today was conceived “Alchemy”, though the writing of it was not then
begun.” The reference is to Hillyer’s book Alchemy, published in 1920. On a loosely inserted
index card, Hillyer has identified the contents of this notebook: “Hills Give Promise, about
half, Several Unpublished poems, prelim skethces for Carmus, Sketches for the Egypt. Hymn
to the Sun, Translations from the Danish, Sept 1920-Summer 1921.” A major working
manuscript for one the poet’s more significant early books. $3,500

Company, 1923. 8vo, ca. 160pp, loose Paper browned and brittle, several pages chipped and
torn. The poet’s corrected galley proofs, extensively corrected by Hillyer in pencil. The
corrections tend toward the typographic, begging for clarity and crispness, although there are
also a number of small textual corrections. This set of galleys does not contain any of the
illustrations. The title page for the published book was entirely redesigned and the sequence
of poems re-ordered. Quite fragile. $750

edition. 8vo, marbled endpapers; full brown morocco, stamped in gilt. Covers scuffed on
spine and extremities, hinges starting, else fine. From a limited edition of 540 copies, this
would appear to be one of the 60 special copies on handmade paper, although it is
unnumbered. An important presentation copy, inscribed by MacLeish on the first leaf: “To
Harry & Caresse Crosby, affectionately, Archibald MacLeish, Paris.” The binding, specially
made, most likely for the Crosbys, has their armorial emblem stamped on front and rear
covers; the Crosby ex-libris, a postage stamp-sized leather label with the names “Harry” and
“Caresse” arranged as a cross, is on the front pastedown. The text bears several marginal
notes and comments in pencil throughout, ranging from simple underscorings and marks, to
lengthy references to Baudelaire and Mallarmé, and a series of rather cryptic diagrams in the
very rear. On one of the last blank leaves are lists of names and dates evidently relating to
the Crosbys’ penchant for horse racing. Harry Crosby revered MacLeish as the greatest
living poet after Eliot. Upon reading this book in 1926, Crosby announced that MacLeish had
outranked Shelley. They did not meet until the following year, but from that time until
Harry’s suicide in 1929, they remained very close. Indeed, it was MacLeish who tended to
Harry Crosby’s body and sat vigil with it at the mortuary on Caresse’s behalf. $4,500
