A Seventeenth Century Suite: in homage to the Metaphysical Genius in English Poetry.

[San Francisco]: [privately printed] (1973). First edition. [28 pp]. Tanning to extremes and soiling to back cover, else near fine in white wrappers. One of 150 copies kept for private distribution–this copy is numbered 16, and is for ‘Ellen,’ probably Ellen Tallman. A SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SUITE is a sequence of 10 poems and a coda, and was later reprinted as part of the first volume of GROUND WORK, though this issue features a beautiful cover designed and drawn by Duncan himself, featuring his beautiful calligraphy.
