This 1965 first edition of Irving Feldman’s “The Pripet Marshes and Other Poems” from Viking Press offers collectors a chance to own an early work by one of the most celebrated American poets of the 20th century. Feldman, a MacArthur Fellow and former poet laureate of New York, is renowned for his lyrical yet intellectual verse that grapples with profound themes of history, identity, and the human condition.

The title poem, inspired by the Pripet Marshes of Eastern Europe, exemplifies Feldman’s skill in weaving personal reflection with explorations of cultural memory and the lingering traumas of war. This collection showcases the poet’s evolution from his roots in the Objectivist tradition toward a more introspective, metaphysical style that would define his later works.

With its vintage dust jacket design and well-preserved pages, this copy presents an opportunity for poetry enthusiasts and Feldman collectors to experience an important early milestone in the poet’s acclaimed oeuvre within its original publication context.
