A collection of four poems -- 'From my Diary', 'Late Stravinsky Listening to Late Beethoven', 'Winter in May', and 'A Girl who has Drowned Herself Speaks' -- published in the sixty-ninth year of Spender's life, and its last phase, a period marked by the deaths of (i.a.) Auden in 1973 and Connolly in 1974; Spender's retirement from his chair in English at University College, London in 1975; and the publication of the partially-autobiographical volume The Thirties and After; Poetry, Politics, People (1933-1975) in 1978. David Leeming comments that, '[t]he highlights of 1978 were the publication of The Thirties and After and a small book entitled Recent Poems. [. . .] The most important of the four poems [in Recent Poems] is "Late Stravinsky Listening to Late Beethoven", dedicated to Sacheverell Sitwell, who had died recently and who in the poem is implicitly identified with the dying Stravinsky' (Stephen Spender: A Life in Modernism (New York, 1999), p. 235).

Contents clean and fresh. Near fine. 1925 includes three poems by Harold Acton and two by Graham Greene (the same year as his 'Babbling April') but this group was clearly collected by the former owner to contain all the contributions by 'MACSPAUNDAY' and begins with two poems by Cecil Day-Lewis in this issue. W. H. Auden appears as co-editor the following year and allowed himself three poems (C.D.L. scores four). They share the editing in 1927 and wrote a Preface together but this year marks the first appearance of Louis MacNeice with three poems. Day-Lewis has gone by 1928 but Auden and MacNeice are joined by Stephen Spender and the latter two are co-editors in 1929 after Auden has moved on. Spender co-edits again in 1930 and that year brings the contributions of these four poets to an end. Uncommon individually and scarce as a set and in this condition.…
