Dreaming Frankenstein & Collected Poems. [And] True Confessions and New Clichés.

FIRST COLLECTED EDITIONS, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, 8vo, pp. 159, [1]; [viii], 135, [1]. Original colour-printed wrappers.

True Confessions collects poems, songs and short dramatic pieces written for the stage, as well as a short section (?the New Clichés? of the title) of previously-unpublished material.…
