About This Item
London : George Allen & Unwin, (1971). First edition : the hardback issue. His third collection of poetry - over forty poems, including "At Four O'Clock in the Morning", "Through All Your Abstract Reasoning", "Heroine Bitches", "Interruption at the Opera House", etc. "A sensibility profoundly aware of the ever-present possibility of the magical and the miraculous, as well as of the granite-hard realities. These are undiluted poems, beautifully calculated, informed - even in their darkest moments - with courage and hope" (Charles Causley). Demy 8vo (23cm). 64pp. Original black cloth, lettered in silver; top edge black; an excellent copy, bright, clean, and sound, in the Meg Rutherford dust-jacket - the jacket equally good, fresh, and unworn.
