2007Best.-Nr. ABE-1621158591696Sourcebooks Mediafusion USA 2007 Quite rare in the UK. A splendid anthology with a set of three CDs of poets reading their own work.

1987Best.-Nr. ABE-1599564223084Faber and Faber 1987 Superb selection by Craig Raine of Kipling's writing. With the ludicrous calls for him to be an 'unperson' by the ghastly WOKE brigade of little small minded fascists who would love us to live in a police state of rewritten history and cultural denial Kipling towers - dare one use the term IMPERIOUSLY. His work is truly fresh and original even especially today. Former owner's signature - although very neat - keeps the price down and the rating to Near Fine. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine.

2011Best.-Nr. ABE-1600961381927Enitharmon Press ENGLAND 2011 Geoffrey Hill's Clavics was published as an installment of Daybooks. Hill's subject matter is often hard to disentangle but that's my fault; it is not his. I have rarely found him as approachable as other poets but then up pops an instance where something stirs under the density and change happens. His poems can be allusive dissonant and yet playful as Finnegans Wake. Many poets deploy surface difficulty Guy Davenport called it false density to mask essential emptiness; but when Hill is difficult it is because he has something to say that cannot be said glibly. He rewards attentive readers. This fabulous and perfect signed limited edition is number 49 of ONLY 100 copies. It is signed by the author on the half-title. There is a splendid photographic illustration inset to the front cover and two other illustrations from historical sources within the book. Beautifully cloth bound in a matching slipcase it is emphatically signed by the Author and now VERY RARE INDEED. Signed by Author. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. Enitharmon Press ENGLAND hardcover
