Sylvia Plath’s Personally Owned Printed Booklet of “A Winter Ship”
A scarce copy of Sylvia Plath's first separately published work, "A Winter Ship", describing a Bostonian wharf in winter with precise and evocative detail. Edinburgh: The Tragara Press, 1960. Plath was reportedly delighted with the design of the booklet, which is one of only 60 copies, each listing the title of the poem without her authorship. The two-page poem is printed on a sheet of laid paper with deckled edge, housed in marbled wrappers with the title label pasted on the front. Unsigned. Measures 5.5" x 8.625". Single horizontal fold, common to the publication, else near fine condition. From the estate of Plath’s daughter, Frieda Hughes.
