Chapel Hill: Contempo, 1932, 1933

Uniformly 30 x 22cm, 8pp. Three separate numbers of this important literary magazine which reflected the American avant garde and regularly covered the Jazz age and European "imported" art (such as Dada). Ezra Pound was a contributing editor. Poems by Hector Rella, Marie Luhrs, Jules Romains, Rainer Maria Rilke and Boris Pasternak (in translation) and Vladimir Mayakovski and Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes (also from the Russian and the French respectively). Vol II Nr 5 has a long article "If Dada comes to America" by Samuel Putnam.

All copies are fragile, slightly browned and with edge wear and sadly the last of these three numbers is entirely torn down the spine but the other two are intact if with slightly rusted staples. There are also some former fold creases. Priced bearing in mind the condition problems. Scarce.

PRICE IS FOR ALL THREE ISSUES TOGETHER
