Christchurch: Edge, 1972. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. Tall, wide stapled wrappers. Issue number four of this literary magazine published out of New Zealand.

Also included in this issue are works by Simic, Transtromer, Bly, Peter Olds, Angus Gordon, Bruce McAllister, Margaret Atwood and many others. 67 pp. Illustrated. With offsetting to the front panel extending over to the spine area. Otherwise clean and well-bound. Quite scarce. (Inventory #: 30475)
