FIRST EDITION, pp. 245, crown 8vo, original black cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, a few very faint spots to edges, faint partial browning and a few spots to free endpapers, dustjacket a little browned and frayed, good. Inscribed by the author on the title-page: 'For John Baxter, from George Barker'. Laid in is a 2pp. typed letter from the author to a 'Maureen Ebbie', consenting for her to use 'Italian Letter' in her 'New Poems' anthology but not able to provide a copy as he does not have one (likewise, he mentions, another poem previously sent, which 'if they do not propose to use it [.] I should like returned to me'; on the following page he offers a short autobiographical summary, describing his route from Marlborough Road School to Tokyo then America and a period of extensive travel following his marriage, up to the present where he lives 'in a woodcutters cottage and intend[s] to stay there for ever' (these details putting it roughly contemporary with the book). A notable aspect of this collection is the stated omission of his 'True Confession', which, a note at the end of the Contents states, 'Mr. Barker wished to include in this volume, [but which] has been omitted at the publishers' request'. Eliot's distaste for this work, published by Fore in 1950, is known.

First edition. Inscribed and signed by author on front endpaper ('George Barker for Mike').

Barker was part of the New Apocalyptics movement, and his affair with Elizabeth Smart inspired her novel By Grand Central Station. "This volume will make possible a proper assessment of the scope and stature of Mr. Barker's work as a whole. For more than twenty years his poetry has been one of the most interesting and most remarkable features of the literary scene; and a collection of his work is, we feel, not only timely but overdue. The poems have been chosen and arranged by Mr. Barker himself.
