First edition, first printing. Original green cloth with white titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with an ownership name on the front free endpaper and some light spotting to the closed text block edge and prelims are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and toned dustwrapper that has a number of tiny closed tears. Not price-clipped (18s on the front flap).
The first volume of Berryman's poetry to be published in the UK, containing the title poem (described by Conrad Aiken as 'one of the finest poems ever written by an American') along with the author's own selection from his other works.
