The Wide Brim: Early Poems and Ponderings of Marjory Stoneman Douglas (signed by the editor, Jack E. Davis)
Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2002. First edition. Hardcover. Signed and dated on the title page by Davis, the editor. Uncommon signed. The Wide Brim is a curation of Douglas's early columns on nature and much more from The Miami Herald, which were often preceded by a poem, and presents a nice snapshot of her formation as a writer and of old Florida as it began to develop. With a blurb by Carl Hiassen, who writes, "This collection is a treasure . . .." Davis went on to write the first comprehensive biography of Douglas, one of the key figures of the environmental movement via her dedication to the Everglades. He is a professor of history at the University of Florida and more recently won the Pulitzer Prize in History for The Gulf. His latest book is about bald eagles. A fine book in mint-green paper boards with an evergreen cloth spine; in a near fine jacket with one smudge to rear panel. Fine / Near fine. Item #1973
