Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Covers very slightly bowed, dustwrapper a little darkened and spotted. With the pencilled notes of the poet and critic Derek Stanford. Poems in French by an Armenian Turk newly settled in England. Feyyaz Kayacan Fergar (1919-1993) met James Kirkup at university in Newcastle. "There," reported Fergar's Times obituary, "another volume of his French poetry [a first, Les Gammes insolites, had been printed in 1935], Gestes à la mer, was published by Alex Comfort. It was labelled surrealist when the surrealist circle in London led by E.L.T. Mesens and Jacques Brunius leapt to its defence . . ." James Kirkup is enthusiastic: "Fergar's magnificent and highly individual handling of the French language brings us the sounds, the life and movement of a beloved country at a time of bitter inaccessibility" he writes in his foreword. "Aragon has lately given us a more contemporary vision of France and the Frenchmen of to-day, with intensity and simplicity; but his broad political references and challenging rhetoric will not be found in these poems. Fergar gives us the essential poetry of France as it is now and at all times, without argument or comment. And the challenge is implicit." This is "Panique", one of "Six poèmes écrits de la main gauche": "deux aveugles / arrosent / la même fleur // au secours". …

Brossura. Condition: quasi ottimo. prima edizione. RARITY CONCERNING ENGLISH SURREALIST POETRY. LIMITED EDITION of 500 copies. 22x14cm, pp. 11, [1]. Paper wrappers illustrated by Edith Rimmington (front) and John Banting (rear). Fifteen poems by various authors in English and French, a list of suggested readings follows the text. Creased vertically through the middle. A very good copy. Feyyaz Kayacan Fergar (1919 - 1993) was born in Istanbul from an Armenian family. In 1940, he moved to England in order to study at King's College in Newcastle upon Tyne. He moved to London soon after finishing his studies and came in contact with the circle of emigrated Surrealist poets led by E. L. T. Mesens and Toni del Renzio. A collection of his early surrealist poems in French (Gestes à la mer, 1943) was positively reviewed and allowed him to fund the publication of two literary magazines: Fulcrum (1944) and Dint (1944; 1945). He was also a writer of short stories (Shelter, 1945) and a Turkish-English translator. He became head of BBC's Turkish Section, 1974 1979. Fulcrum included works of authors like Mesens, Simon Watson Taylor and Jacques Brunius, however it was not just a Surrealist magazine. In fact, it featured poems by New Apocalyptic poets as well - such as Henry Treece, John Atkins and James Kirkup - who reacted to the mainstream 'political realism' of the 1930s. The illustrations on the covers were the work of two eminent artists of the London Surrealist Group: Edith Remmington and John Banting. Jackaman, R.
