A Poem
Autumn Journal A Poem
Faber, 1939.
First edition. Original brown cloth lettered in gilt, in a brown dustwrapper lettered in cream. A fine copy with a little spotting to the top edge in a fine dustwrapper, a bump to upper cover and a trace of wear to the head of the spine.
The author's most compelling work, a long, semi-autobiographical poem, setting the trivia of everyday life against the events of the world outside in the run up to the Second World War.
