A fine selection of modern poetry will be on exhibit and offered for sale by Michigan’s own Jett W. Whitehead Rare Books, located in Bay City. A respected member of ABAA, this dealer’s exclusive specialty is rare first editions of modern poetry spanning the early 1900s to present. In their booth at the Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair will be signed first editions by Anne Sexton, John Berryman, T. S. Eliot, Donald Hall, and many other notable poets. Also on display will be dozens of handsomely printed and illustrated poetry broadsides.
You can see some of the items Jett Whitehead plans to bring to the fair at his website. And remember that you can see them on May 18, 2010, at the Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM in the ballroom of the Michigan Union on the University of Michigan Campus.
