No. 11 - the eleventh issue of the original first series of this renowned poetry magazine, edited by Tambimuttu, published in the early post-war period. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, and the publications of Poetry London. ***This is the first of the postwar issues of Poetry (London) magazine, published after a three year hiatus from 1944 to 1947. Issue 11 was the third of the series to include specially commissioned lithographs, and the first with expanded content of 72 pages. ***A scarce Poetry London first edition title, very hard to find intact with the original colour lithographs, which are often removed for framing. A very desirable issue. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
