I’m not finding anything online either, but you might post this over in r/rarebooks. It’s absolutely a privately printed chapbook, which is very common for poetry books even now. That material for the cover is also pretty common for chapbooks. It’s hard to find because it would have been printed in very small numbers. Someone else commented on a J. A. Hurt that died in the late 30s, that would be a very good lead to follow up.
