FOR AN HOUR ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
(San Francisco: Grabhorn-Hoyem, 1941 [circa 1970]). First edition thus: issued as a New Year's greeting from Irving W. Robbins. Number 7 in "The Americana Series." 15 x 23" leaf folded twice to make four 7.5 x 11.5" pages, including covers; printed in black and red. Jeffers' poem originally appeared with slight variations as "Only an Hour" in TWO CONSOLATIONS in 1940. According to Broomfield [A45d] although the Grabhorn Press bibliography states 200 copies printed, per a note from Andrew Hoyem, there were no more than 100 copies. Fine. Quite scarce.
