Add to basketLondon: Faber and Faber. 1960. 8vo. Original maroon cloth with silver title lettering; red and white dust jacket; pp. [4], 63, [1]; slight loss to top and bottom of spine with general toning to jacket and fading to cloth; otherwise very good; presentation inscription "To Lee/With my very best wishes/from Ted/23rd April 1960" to title; bookplate of Lee Anderson, designed by cartoonist James Thurber, to front pastedown.First edition, a presentation copy inscribed by Hughes to Lee Anderson, with the latter's own annotations used for Hughes's recording in the Yale Series of Recorded Poets.Lee Anderson and Ted Hughes recorded poems together after meeting in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1958. On 17th May 1960, less than a month after the presentation of this volume, Anderson recorded Hughes reading poems from Lupercal on five tapes that are now held as part of the Yale Series of Recorded Poets Sound Recordings at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The contents page contains notes, including timings of poems, written in Anderson's hand and so this volume was likely used by him for the recordings. Page 9 contains a manuscript correction by Hughes.This second collection from Ted Hughes, following on from his much acclaimed debut volume, The Hawk In The Rain, includes a printed dedication "to Sylvia" on the verso of the title page. Although he had moved to America in 1957, the poems of Lupercal are still intimately attuned to the Yorkshire landscape.
