Beschreibung

Vol.1, No.6 - the sixth issue in the original series of the historic Poetry magazine, designed and edited by Tambimuttu - Enlarged First Anniversary Number. ***The first two printed pages are a black and white full-page photo illustration of Zwemmer's bookshop front window display of Ernest Hemingway's new book: "For Whom The Bell Tolls", and its review by R. Friedmann on the facing page on the inside front cover. ***Very good in the original thin cream, black and ochre-yellow printed stapled covers. Some marks to the covers commensurate with age and handling, but the covers are exceptionally clean. Staples rusted as usual. Internally also very good. Pages clean without any of the usual foxing. No tears. Would be described as near fine except for some bumping to the top corners of the covers and page block. There is also some offsetting to the first printed page (inside front cover) where a newspaper article seems to have been placed (since removed). Spine tight. ***48 pages (plus adverts on inside of covers) and still retains the original Poetry London subscription form at the back - "7/- for a year's subscription to POETRY (London)". 248mm x 185mm. ***Contents: Poem by Anne Ridler; Troll's Courtship by Louis MacNeice; In a Garden by Stephen Spender; A Letter to Nicholas Moore by G. S. Fraser; Love in the Asylum by Dylan Thomas; Ode Above Winchester by J. C. Hall; Ballad of the Ranting Lad by Henry Treece; To Edward Thomas by Alun Lewis; Churchillian Ode by J. F. Hendry; Hero by Laurence Durrell; Lines Written in an Air Raid by Francis Scarfe; ***Also poems by Vernon Watkins, Julian Symons, Tom Scott, D. S. Savage, Audrey Beecham, James A. Kirkup, Fred Marnau, Stephen Coates, Norman Nicholson, Peter Wells, Alan Hook, Nicholas Moore, Lynette Roberts, Clifford Dyment. ***Vol. 1. No. 6 - the sixth issue of the original first series of this renowned poetry magazine, edited by Tambimuttu, published in May 1941 during the early years of the Second World War, in nice collectable condition. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, and the publications of Poetry London. ***The wartime issues of Poetry (London) magazine are now quite scarce in any condition, and this is a very clean copy, albeit creased at the top corner of the page block. ***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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8197x
