Add to basketOriginal Wraps. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. Vol. 3, No. 11 - September-October 1947 - the eleventh issue in the original series of the historic Poetry magazine, designed and edited by Tambimuttu - complete with three pages of colour lithographs by Ceri Richards - a centrefold double page colour lit…hograph, and two single page lithographs, inspired by and incorporating the Dylan Thomas poem "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower", plus a colour cover, with Lyre Bird design, by Henry Moore. ***Very good in the original thin colour-illustrated stapled card covers. The edges of the covers show some wear commensurate with age and handling and are slightly creased and rubbed, but the front cover illustration is bright and clean. The back cover is slightly discoloured marked and foxed at the edges (being a cream background). The bottom corner of the page block is slightly creased throughout. Staples rusted as usual. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions - just a small black contemporaneous bookseller's label to bottom of first page: 'G. R. Downing, Bookseller, Fore Street, St. Ives, C'. Pages sporadically lightly foxed. The top corner of the first few pages is lightly creased. No tears. Lower corners of most pages also lightly creased. The three pages of colour lithographs, including the centrefold, are bright and clean, and are printed on high grade cartridge paper, printed from the original stones by the Baynard Press, whereas the text of the magazine is on normal thick paper (not the thin postwar economy paper as used in comparative Issue No. 9). ***72 pages (plus PL adverts on inside of front cover, with facsimile of handwritten poem by Keith Douglas on inside of back cover). 246mm x 188mm. ***Contents: Keith Douglas: The Hand, John Anderson, Leukothea; Ronald Bottrall: Elegiacs; Bernard Spencer: Out of Sleep; Anne Ridler: Views of the North Coast; Patrick Evans: Christmas, Great Britain, 1941, Green Grass Growing; James Reeves: A Fairy Tale; Introspection; Lawrence Durrell: In the Garden of the Villa Cleobolus; Kathleen Raine: Absolution; George Barker: Memorial Inscription; Keidyrch Rhys: 48 Hours at Tenby; Rainer Maria Rilke: The Duinese Elegies: The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth Elegy; Edith Sitwell: From a Canticle of the Rose: Hymn to Venus; George Scurfield: Song - The Bitter Mangoes; Hugh Gordon Porteus: The Oracles, Three Things; G. S. Fraser: The Death of My Grandmother, Song for Music; Pierre Jean Jouve: When Glory's Spring Returns, From Sueur De Sang; Stephen Coates: There was an Empty Place in the Grass; You are all Beautiful, who Fill my Terrible Dreams; John Heath-Stubbs: The Poetic Achievement of Charles Williams; Margaret Diggle: The Mathematics of the Soul. ***POINTS OF VIEW (Reviews): The Greek Anthology by Charles Williams; Auden up-to-date: by G. S. Fraser; The State of Modern Criticism by Nicholas Moore; Four Quartets (T. S. Eliot) by Hugh Gordon Porteus; Two American, One English by Julian Symons; A World Within a War by Kathleen Raine. Cover by Henry Moore. Lithographs by Ceri Richards. ***Vol. 3. No. 11 - the eleventh issue of the original first series of this renowned poetry magazine, edited by Tambimuttu, published in the early post-war period. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, and the publications of Poetry London. ***This is the first of the postwar issues of Poetry (London) magazine, published after a three year hiatus from 1944 to 1947. Issue 11 was the third of the series to include specially commissioned lithographs, and the first with expanded content of 72 pages. ***A scarce Poetry London first edition title, very hard to find intact with the original colour lithographs, which are often removed for framing. A very desirable issue. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Henry Moore (Front Cover), Ceri Richards (Three centrefold lithographs) (illustrator).
