Paris: No. 13 of 380 copies, poems finely printed all in English, on Johannot paper; small loss and tears to spine ends; cream wrappers slightly used, moderately worn and marked. Internally clean and tight, about near VG overall. Kennard, a wealthy diplomat, known for his good looks and something of a dandy-- his mother was in Oscar Wilde's circle (she financed the Epstein memorial for him at Pre Lachaise cemetery in Paris). He was a great friend of Ronald Firbank and Vyvyan Holland. A number of the poems are erotic and some quite homoerotic. It has been suggested that the book is a spoof 'created by a third party, to denigrate Kennard or bring amusement to others'. Sme wear otherwise near very good.

Sir Coleridge Arthur Fitzroy Kennard (1885-1948) was educated at Eton and circulated in Oscar Wilde's milieu (his mother financed the Epstein memorial for him at Pere Lachaise). He was also a great friend of Ronald Firbank and Vyvyan Holland and for many years was Firbank's most ardent supporter and literary confidant. One of several publications issued during his lifetime and surely one of the oddest- it might be argued that the book is in fact a spoof, created by a third party, to denigrate Kennard or bring amusement to others. The poems herein, all in English, are erotic to some extent, a number quite homoerotic: "O! let me calm/ Your fevered blood / Quick! Let me drink,/ Deep in the chasm,/ The growing flood/ Of your vast spasm!" One of 380 numbered copies, finely printed on Johannot, cream wrappers lightly worn. Rare.
