Opera. Oeuvres Poetiques 1925-1927

Small octavo, contemporary decorative paper boards, with glassine wrapper, original wrappers bound in. $600. First edition, inscribed on the half title: "De l'oiseleur / à Xavier / Jean / [star]." Cocteau often referred to himself as "the birdman." Opéra has its origins in one of Cocteau's retreats from opium. "Cocteau plunged, at the Hotel Welcome, into a new period of creation, one of the most fruitful of his life.... He had brought with him some poems written before and during his cure, and now he wrote others: the result was to be the volume Opéra, probably the best known,... and unquestionably the most essentially coctelian, of his collections of verse" (Steegmuller, 349). Contains the first printing of L'Ange Heurtebise. Mahaffey, 228. Uniformly embrowned (as usual). Original wrappers bright. Fine condition.
