About This Item
London : Macmillan London, (1980). First edition : the uncommon hardback issue. An extensive selection of poems from five earlier collections, together with a number of new poems. "He seems, unusually for a poet of any importance, to continually move from one kind of work to another, always with new insights, and new ways of growing" (Peter Levi) Demy 8vo (23cm). [viii],182,[ii]pp. Original green boards, lettered in silver; just a hint of spotting to top edge; very faint bruise to heel, but a very good copy in the original dust-jacket - a typographic design in green, red and white - also very good.
