About this Item

First Edition (first printing). A presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "To Hubert + Marjorie from Kenneth, in friendship 22/3/42" (the recipient being fellow poet H.B.Mallalieu and his wife. Mallalieu is the dedicatee of Gee's two-part poem 'Poem for England', included here, and both he and Gee made occasional contributions to Howard Sergeant's long-running poetry magazine 'Outposts'). Small slim 8vo. 47pp. Black buckram lettered in gold at the spine. The merest hint of spotting to the top edge and the buckram lifting from the boards a little in a few places. Binding tender at one gathering. A very good copy in very good non-price-clipped dust wrapper, lightly toned at the spine panel. Thirty-two poems; the author's first and seemingly only book (he later contributed two further poems to the 1944 Fortune Press anthology 'Sailing To-Morrow's Seas' and to occasional periodicals). Uncommon. Seller Inventory # BC16677
