[Signed] [First Edition] Two Inscribed Marianne Moore Books MOORE

Two books by Marianne Moore Inscribed to magazine editor and poet, Elizabeth McFarland: a first edition of *What Are Years* (New York: The Macmillan Company 1941; near fine in very good dust jacket) and a third edition of *Nevertheless* (New York: The Macmillan Company 1944; fine in near fine dust jacket with some light wear and small tears at the edge). The books were sent in a cardboard box with the printed address label of publisher William Sloane Associates tipped on addressed to Moore. Moore has crossed out her Brooklyn, New York address, as well as that of William Sloan's, and readdressed the box to McFarland. Both books are Inscribed in full by Moore to McFarland on March 3, 1948. McFarland was the poetry editor for *Scholastic* magazine and later *Ladies Home Journal*, and the wife of poet Daniel Hoffman, the Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (now the U.S. Poet Laureate) from 1973-1974. A nice association with an interesting artifactual presentation.
