Description:
London: Faber and Faber, 1957. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 9x6x1. Signed by author. First edition. Inscribed and signed by author on front endpaper ('George Barker for Mike'). Edges faintly foxed, tiny ink number on jacket spine base, bottom corner of front jacket flap clipped but list price still present. 1957 Hard Cover. 245, [1] pp. 8vo. Barker was part of the New Apocalyptics movement, and his affair with Elizabeth Smart inspired her novel By Grand Central Station. "This volume will make possible a proper assessment of the scope and stature of Mr. Barker's work as a whole. For more than twenty years his poetry has been one of the most interesting and most remarkable features of the literary scene; and a collection of his work is, we feel, not only timely but overdue. The poems have been chosen and arranged by Mr. Barker himself.
