by TOMLINSON, Charles
Oxford: Fantasy Press, 1955. First edition. Softcover. 28 pages. Tomlinson's second collection of poems. Introduction by Donald Davie. A close to near fine copy in stapled wrappers with some offsetting to the endpapers from the about very good dust jacket that has minor wear and some fading to the edges. Signed and inscribed by Tomlinson on the front free endpaper to poet and editor Henry Rago in the year of publication. Also includes a laid in brief handwritten letter from Tomlinson to Rago presenting this book. At the time, Rago was the editor of Poetry Magazine. A nice association copy of a book that seldom appears signed.
