AKHMATOVA, Anna (1889-1966) Stikhotvorenia. (Poetry) Moscow: State Publishing House, 1961
Duodecimo, 319pp. First edition of this ample selection from previous collections with some additional material. Very good in publisher’s blue coated cloth. This copy inscribed by Zbigniew Herbert to American poet Peter Viereck during the latter's visit to Warsaw in 1962. The inscription is surrounded by numerous small drawings by Herbert. A lovely little reminder of worser times.
