Countee Cullen Color INSCRIBED To Gay Lover LGBT SIGNED W. E. B. DuBois

Countee Cullen Color INSCRIBED To Gay Lover LGBT SIGNED W. New York and London: Harper & Brothers, [1926].

Quarter yellow cloth and decorative black paper over boards, printed paper label to spine and front board. Good: binding moderately worn with loss of paper at corners, areas of paper loss at edges; backstrip and spine label heavily toned, possibly crudely repaired at an early date.

An extraordinary copy of Cullen's first book, likely inscribed to his male lover. The front free endpaper reads. Edward, May these poor rhymes when read by you borrow light from the greater glory of that perfect poem which is our friendship.

Sincerely, Countie New York, June 4, 1927. We consulted with two Cullen scholars (Thomas Wirth and Charles Molesworth) who believe that Edward is Edward Perry, a Broadway actor and dancer who was known to be sexually intimate with Cullen. They met around 1925 and Perry was an usher in Cullen's wedding to the daughter of W.
