A complete set of the 48 signed broadside poems as issued, contained in an unusually fresh example of the half pig skin folder with ties. The poems vary slightly in size but are printed on fine quality paper, generally about 28x38 cm and were intended for framing. One poem by Seamus Heaney, Land, has been professionally mounted in a card surround. Individually issued as the 'poem of the month' between 1970-1974 and again in 1977, each broadside is signed by the author and the poems are in fine condition. Around a dozen A4 size introductory and biographical sheets and lists which were issued by the club to accompany some of the poems are laid in. The large portfolio is in very good condition with a little rubbing to extremities. The Poem of the Month Club was founded in 1970 by Jack H. Clark and Winston Fletcher with a mission to publish a 'substantial and characteristic' original poem by a leading British poet. Among the poets published by the club were W.H. Auden, Robert Graves, Seamus Heaney, Philip Larkin, Cecil Day-Lewis, John Betjeman and Stevie Smith. Roy Fuller and the poet laureate Cecil Day-Lewis advised the club and helped to solicit and select poems for publication with a stellar cast of contributors for the first two folios. The club eventually fell victim to declining interest and the increased difficulty in finding new material. The collection comprises: (Folio 1) Francesca in Winter / Stevie Smith -- Going my way? / C. Day Lewis -- The explosion / Roy Fuller -- Art student / Stephen Spender -- Advice from a mother / Robert Graves -- At Dunkeswell Abbey / Anthony Thwaite -- Annotations of Giant's Town / John Fuller -- Hurt / 2 x Elizabeth Jennings -- What is mercy and a voice / George Barker -- Midnights / Norman MacCaig -- Epigrams by Martial / Peter Porter.
