Near Fine. Minor separation of dust jacket and plastic to bottom of spine, otherwise a pristine copy.

Collection of poems by Pulitzer Prize winning poet and central member of the New York School, Jack Schuyler. Schuyler was introduced to Frank O’Hara and John Ashbery at a party in New York. The three poets would go on to share an apartment on 49th Street in Manhattan and to work closely together, often collaborating on a variety of writing projects. Hymn to Life is one of the scarcer books of poetry by Schuyler.
