MAYAKOVSKY, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1893-1930). Otkrytie Ameriki . [My discovery of America]. New York: New World Press, [1925]. First edition, rare; Mayakovsky’s verses inspired by his journey to America and Mexico in 1925. The poet’s negative preconceptions about the continent transpire fromnotes he wrote aboard the ship before getting there: ‘I would close America, lightly cleaned it, and then opened it again - for the second time’. But once in New York he found himself captivated by the city. There he had a momentous encounter with Burliuk – the illustrator of this edition, which is far less known than the 1926 edition with Rodchenko’s constructivist cover. Octavo (150 x 104mm); with woodcuts by Burliuk. Original green wrappers with Burliuk’s woodcuts on both sides (very faint marginal waterstaining).
