S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)
Hand made leather cover over - This is an anthology of poems and lines, commentaries, critiques and quotes from various books. Somewhere around the years 1948 and 1949, James Day compiled this notebook typing in some poems, sometimes hand writing in others, ocassionally taping in still more. As you'll see from the photos of this collection of ephemera, it may have been a field of study for James or a personal passion, but it involved a lot of work on his part. He may also have done this while in the military service. To the left of his name he crossed off Pvt and wrote Cpl above that and then crossed that out and wrote Sgt. To the astute scholar, there might be enough information within this book along with a little online detective work to conjecture on this circumstances of this journal
7 1/2" x 9" - at least 250 pages
included are: T.S Eliot; "The Waste Land", "Ash Wednesday", "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", "The Hollow Men"; Walter Pater; Francis Thompson - "The Hound of Heaven"; Gerard Manley Hopkins - "The Wreck of the Deutschland"; Gerald Heard; A.E. Housman; Yeats; Gustav Mahler - "Das Lied von der Erde" (in English and in German); Rainer Maria Rilke - 9 works in English and German; William Blake; Robinson; Hart Crane; Kenneth Patchen; Gertrude Stein; George Bernard Shaw; Samuel Butler; ee cummings; Robert Lowell ... and the final entry: 2 Oct. '49 "of Hamlet: not so much the tragedy of a man-who-can't-make-up-his-mind as the tragedy of a (quite sensitive) young man with many masks, with many facets, with extreme sensitiveness and sensibility, who is carrying out his schemes of revenge ..."
My favorite in this ephemera collection is the order card for the Retort which says:" the only literary magazine in the english language Retort is now seven years old ... Contributors include Kenneth Rexboth, Kenneth Patchen, Paul Goodman ... Contributors Do Not include Jean-Paul Sartre, Philip Rahv ... Retort is handset and hand-printed and is probably the only little magazine that is deliverted to the post office by donkey cart" Retort was in print from 1941 to 1951

Presumed First Edition Hardcover. maroon bookcloth with Tennyson's facsimile signature encased in golden wreath on front board. Deckled fore-edges. Former owner signed it with date of 1892. Waugh was a contemporary of Tennyson, an acquaintance, not an old friend, and his study of his life and work was compiled with that in mind. Waugh was finishing the biography when Tennyson became ill and was dying.

Wikipedia has a description of Allen Norton and his place in early 20th century poetry
Here's my favorite poem from the collection: (I'm no poetry critic, but it makes me think of a cross between Lewis Caroll and Bob Dylan.
There are no toilets in the Kings' corridors,
And so the dames made busy in the house,
Dusting the spider legs from mouse to mouse
And battling with the beetles on all fours.
"Oh, who would be a suffragette?" said one,
"Nay, who would be a riddle:" said a third;
The second answered nothing, but in fun
Was running ribbons in the humming bird.
We cannot feed each beggar in the land,
But when the Queen gave me her velvet hand
And whispered the gipsy in my ear,
I bought her thistle sandwiches and beer,
And then amid the dashing of the steeds
We danced the Turkey Trot like centipedes.
