Book desription: London: Editions Poetry , 1945. Hardcover First UK edition. Published four years after the US edition in a much smaller format by a small press that according to THE OXFORD COMPANION had a bi-monthly which became the leading poetry magazine of the 1940s (Dylan Thomas,and editor M.J Tambimuttu among others founded it). The press published poetry by Kathleen Raine, David Gascoyne, Lawrence Durrell among others. The purple cloth has faded, but the gilt lettering is miraculously still bright; there is a crease across the boards, and a stamp (a star) on the ffep. The dust jacket is worn and chipped with a 5/8" closed tear; price-clipped with $3.00 stamped on the top flap. Still a delicate, pretty book, seldom found in this nice a condition. Very Good in Very Good (Price-Clipped) DJ. (Juliar A21.2a)
