Notes on Cafes and Bedrooms
Putnam, 1963.
First edition. Publisher's quarter cloth over paper-covered boards, in the red printed dustwrapper. A fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper, very crisp, but faded to the spine. Loosely laid in are an assortment of press cuttings related to Tonks and the collection, including separately published poems and reviews of the work.
Rosemary Tonks's first collection of poetry. Tonks posed something of a mystery disappearing from public life with many rumours spreading about her whereabouts. In fact, she chose to live as a near-recluse, shut off from the family and her old life. Critic Cyril Connolly described her work as "hard-faceted yet musical poems [with] unexpected power"
