Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. A volume of poetry by Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell DBE (7 September 1887 - 9 December 1964) who was a British poet and critic, eldest of the three literary Sitwells. First edition. Sitwell published poetry continuously from 1913, some of it abstract and set to music. With her dramatic style and exotic costumes, she was sometimes labelled a poseur, but her work was also praised for its solid technique and painstaking craftsmanship. She became a proponent and supporter of innovative trends in English poetry and opposed what she considered the conventionality of many contemporary backward-looking poets. Her flat became a meeting place for young writers whom she wished to befriend and help: these later included Dylan Thomas and Denton Welch. She also helped to publish the poetry of Wilfred Owen after his death. Her only novel, I Live under a Black Sun, based on the life of Jonathan Swift, was published in 1937.
