New Signatures 1: A Selection Of College Writing [Cover Title]: New Signatures 1948 O'connor, Flannery, William Stafford, Etc. Poetry

First edition. Edited by Alan Swallow. Small octavo. Bookplate front pastedown, a little soiling on the boards, very good or better without the dust jacket. Very uncommon anthology of college writing with contributions by Herb Gold, John Hollander, William Stafford, and Flannery O'Connor. O'Connor contributes a 13 page story, "The Barber," one of her earliest stories to be printed (her first was "Geranium" in 1946 in *Accent* magazine). After this appearance, "The Barber" went otherwise unpublished until her *Complete Stories* were published posthumously in 1971.
