About this Item

First edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 53pp. Paper-covered boards. A virtually fine copy in dust wrapper, price-clipped and lightly tanned and chafed at spine panel. Laid-in is an invitation card from Donald Davie inviting Dr. George Watson to an event at St. Catherine's College Cambridge, and also a three-page offprint from Universities Quarterly showcasing three David poems, inscribed "For George [Watson] from Donald [Davie]". A front free endpaper inscription by an unknown hand reads: "To Mike [i.e. Michael Loftus], January 1976, love from Sue", and the front pastedown exhibits the recipient's bookplate. Donald Davie, Michael Loftus and George Watson were all pre- and post-war Cambridge friends. Thirty-seven poems, the author's second full-length collection. Wright A5.
