Die Kupe (The Pile), Peretz Markish. Kultur Lige Publishing, Warsaw, 1921. First edition.
The composition on the cover was made by Henryk Berlewi, illustrating the name of Markish's poem, visually resembling a pile. The obvious brutality and coarseness of the composition's elements – the title-letters and the triangles beneath them - match the tragic mood of the poem, and the purposely provoking naturalist anti-esthetic quality which is the main tone in the poem's description of the pogrom's victims. The murdered Jews were "Piled up" in the town square.
32 pages, 33.5 cm. Fair condition. Foxing. The original cover glued on hard cardboard, not original, partly detached spine, with tears.
