A propos de cet article

Near fine three quarter cloth covered boards with red lettering to spine. Near fine dust jacket with rubbing to the corners and head of the spine. Closed tears to the top of the jacket. Not price clipped. Tanning to fore edge but does not affect the face of the pages. 8vo. Clean text free of marks or underlining. 64 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Mr. Day Lewis's new collection is in three parts. The first consists of four poems based on Greek legends: the second explores, tenderly or wryly, the human condition and the stern ordeal of art, at this time when 'Civilization plays with fire'; the third, with a directness that recalls Hardy and Yeats, speaks about the poet's personal experience, and includes an impressive sonnet-sequence, 'Moods of Love.' The prevailing themes throughout arise from a deep self-searching. The discipline and devotion' which have marked this poet's concern with his art have allowed him to achieve, as these pages show, maturity and authority.
