Merrill Moore Signed, Case Record From A Sonnetorium 1951 Gorey Illus.

$150.00
Dr. Merrill Moore is said to have written more sonnets than any other poet. His sonnets are original in form to the extent of being referred to by the poet himself as illegitimate. They are not necessarily medical. In fact, one may find on opposing pages sonnets referring, respectively, to eels and to love. Along with these sonnets goes a running series of cartoons. The cartoon has no necessary relationship to the sonnet with which it shares the page, but the cartoons themselves are supposed to constitute a series, which is, to say the least, highly fanciful. Physicians who like poetry will find this an amusing volume if they choose to read it in that vein, or if they wish to think more deeply they can find material here for that.
