About this Item
First printing in wrappers. The fourth book of poetry by this award winning poet, born in England, who lived and wrote in California's Big Sur, which inspired many of his poems. Henry Miller commented "Near the Little Sur River, in a windy cove a bitch of a place! Eric Barker, an English poet, works as caretaker for the owner of a large cattle ranch. The pay is meager, the task light, the hours are his own. In the morning he takes a dip in the icy canyon stream. Sounds divine, if only the wind didn't blow steadily twenty-four hours of the day nine months of the year. Eric has been writing poetry, nothing but poetry, for twenty-five years. He is a good poet. A modest, humble one, who never pushes himself." This volume includes poems from his earlier collections "Directions in the Sun" and "A Ring of Willows" as well as a section of new poems. INSCRIBED on the title page. 84 pp. Very good in illustrated wrappers (toning to the pages, small peeled spot on front cover). Seller Inventory # 89893
