About this Item

First edition, signed by the author, of the glam rock superstar's only lifetime book of poetry. Loosely inserted is a letter on T. Rex Fan Club stationery, dated 18 July 1973, typed and signed "Linda", in the original envelope. It is addressed to one Cecilia Radice and informs her that she has won the book in a t-shirt drawing competition. Bolan was proud of his literary ability, and considered the lyrics to T. Rex songs to be further examples of his poetry. In an interview with Creem magazine in 1973, he stated "Whether you think I'm good or bad, I'm still the best-selling poet in England" (Crowe). Cameron Crowe, "T. Rex: What They Tried To Do With David Bowie Was Create Another Marc Bolan", Creem, July 1973. Octavo. Typed letter, on blue paper with red header, laid in. Original photographic boards. A little rubbed, extremities bumped, a couple of punctures to front board joint, top edge and outer leaves faintly foxed: a very good copy.
