LONGLEY, Michael

Published by Victor Gollancz Ltd, London, 1973

First edition. A fine copy in near fine dust jacket very lightly faded on spine. Inscribed by Longley to poet Geoffrey Hill: "For Geoffrey Hill - every best wish- Michael Longley. Belfast, 3. viii. 73." The poet Donald Hall, in his *Los Angeles Times* review of another title by Longley, states: "Michael Longley's 'The Weather in Japan' is the best book I have read this year and, although I have admired him for some time. [it] shocked me into understanding that the poet I had admired had quietly become along with Seamus Heaney, say, and Geoffrey Hill a contemporary who should endure over the life of our language." A fine association copy. Seller Inventory # 516956
