1977. London: Enitharmon Press, 1977.

Slim 8vo, 67 pp. Original cloth, dust-jacket printed in red and blue. A very good copy with occasional foxing and a hint of fading to the spine of the dust-jacket.

§ First edition, a pleasing copy of this collection of poems. Kathleen Raine (1908-2003), was a mystical poet, scholar, and critic of Yeats, Coleridge, and Blake. "A visionary poet whose work probed the intersection of science and mysticism, Raine bridged elements of Jungian psychology and neo-Platonism in her work." (Poetry Foundation).
