About this Item

In the first section of the book the author searches for the touchstones of true poetry. He suggests that its essential quality, wherein its greatness lies, is metaphorical, but it must also be governed by the impulse to explore and extend morality, to develop attitudes to life. There are chapters on folk song & childrens verse, relating them to contemporary poetry. The second part of the book, the author finds focus for his dissatisfaction with poetry of that moment in time. A 1st edition hardback with its dustjacket in fine condition-front cover of the D.J a little scuffed. (255 pages).
