About this Item

First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 79pp. Cloth-backed marbled paper-covered boards, lettered in gold at the spine. A single tiny blemish to the fore edge of the front free endpaper, and a St. Lucia bookshop inkstamp to the base of the front pastedown. A virtually fine copy in Germano Facetti-designed dust wrapper, lightly chafed at the natural folds and with several miniscule fractions of loss to the corner tips. Laid-in is an image Walcott, clipped from a 1991 programme of events at the National Theatre, and subsequently signed by the author. The future Nobel Laureate's first book to be published in the UK, comprising 42 poems most of which had previously appeared in various of the author's rare Trinidad-issued pamphlets.
