FROST, ROBERT.

A Sermon by Robert Frost Spoken on the First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles at the Rockdale Avenue Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio, Thursday Morning, October 10, 1946.

(NY Spiral Press 1947) First edition. One of 500 copies. Crane erroneously reports that Frost did not authorize publication of this impromptu sermon, which has perhaps contributed to the story that more than half the edition was destroyed by Frost and Spiral Press owner Joseph Blumenthal. In his book, Robert Frost and His Printers, Blumenthal sets the record straight: the copies were distributed to Frost, Rabbi Victor Reichert, and Blumenthal. After re-reading the text, Frost realized "that something in the sermon as printed would offend someone then still living", and he requested that the edition be suppressed. A scarce Frost A item that shows light wrinkling to upper front cover, else fine in plum wrappers with paper label. (Crane A33).
