SIGNED FIRST EDITION Running Again in Hollywood Cemetery by Ron Smith, 1988

SIGNED FIRST EDITION Running Again in Hollywood Cemetery by Ron Smith, 1988, published by University of Central Florida Press. Trade paperback, 79 pages, like new condition. This is the first book of Ron Smith. The poet is presented on pages 66 and 67 (see the last photo). Of course, in 1988, there was not much to say about the young Ron Smith. Later he had three more books published, and was honored in multiple ways, of which I will mention only that he is former president of the Poetry Society of Virginia. The first edition of his first book is hard to find. But it gets better: it is signed by the author on the title page (Photo #3). And it gets even better: it is inscribed and signed by the author to a person named Carol Sherman on the page preceding the title page (Photo #4).
