A View from the Source. Selected Poems. (INSCRIBED)

First edition - a paperback original. A presentation copy, inscribed by the author: "For Alan [Clodd], in gratitude for all his help and great practical encouragement, Jeremy 25 May 1982". 8vo. 107pp. Card wrappers. A touch of toning to the leaf margins. A very good copy. Just over one hundred poems, an extensive collection of the author's four previous collections: 'Soliloquies of a Chalk Giant' (1974), 'Landscape of the Daylight Moon' (1978), 'Solent Shore' (1978) and 'Englishman's Road' (1980). Alan Clodd was a publisher and funder of the Enitharmon Press, under whose imprint Hooker's first book-length collection, 'Soliloquies of a Chalk Giant', was issued. Half a dozen further Hooker collections would eventually be issued under the same imprint.
