Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Death can happen in an instant, but grief takes time and can be the greatest pain we shall ever have to bear, for which there is no anaesthetic. It is unknown territory which most people face with little or no preparation. This anthology encompasses a wide range of personal experience from a great number of contemporary poets. These poems deal with the complexity of death, bringing to the surface the unmentionable: the anger, fear, bewilderment, despair, guilt, remorse, relief, the humour, the love and the many questions we ask ourselves to make sense of it all. Every bereavement is different because every relationship is different. There is no limit to the time it takes. While this may not be a comfortable book, it is a comforting one which celebrates life and offers hope to those who have been bereaved. It can help to know that others have suffered such loss and survived. This is not a book to read from cover to cover in one sitting, but rather to dip into and cherish when everyone else has seemingly forgotten. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition, published in 1980 as a poetry pamphlet - the poet's first poetry collection. This copy has been inscribed by the author at the top of the front free endpaper "For Tom and Val with love, Aggie. Hebden Bridge, 27/9/80." Tom is Tom Raworth - English-Irish poet, publisher, editor, and teacher who published over 40 books of poetry and prose during his life. Raworth was a key figure in the British Poetry Revival. ***Very good in plain white stapled card covers. The covers are clean, but there is some creasing which continues throughout the first half of the pamphlet, mainly at the bottom corners. The internal pages are clean without tears. ***In a very good thin grey illustrated paper dustwrapper, printed in red. No tears, just light creasing at the bottom corner of the front panel. ***24 pages. 218 mm x 142 mm. ***'Agneta Falk was born in Stockholm; has lived in England for the past ten years. She studied drama and music in Sweden and has given song recitals in this country as well as readings from her own work. She began to write in English two years ago. Her poems show an affinity with the music of the great eighteenth-century Swedish poet Bellman and the expressive language of Edith Södergran, although within her own originality it can be discerned only as homage rather than influence. The incisive beauty and apt brevity of her poems are underlined by a use of language which is both direct and complex. Hers is an imagery of metaphysics rooted in an accuracy of description around such themes as love, landscape, portrait and the subjective structures. This is her first published collection of poems'. [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the true first edition, in the original card covers with paper dustwrapper. An uncommon publication, especially signed. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Inscribed by Author(s).
