Paperback. Condición: New. Ida Affleck Graves was born in 1902 in India, and first published a book of poems in 1929 with Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press. Later a couple of slim volumes appeared, illustrated by her well-known engraver husband, Blair Hughes Stanton, and together they won a Venice Biennale Prize in 1937. Then in the 'fifties, novels and children's books appeared from Faber. In the intervening years she has continued to produce poems of a distinct character and style, now collected into a new book for Oxford Poets.

This book is intended for usual readership for new poetry, and also perhaps the elder generation of readers.…

FIRST EDITION, one leaf with light crease at top corner, pp. 266, crown 8vo, original red boards, backstrip lettered in black, a few very faint spots to edges and free endpapers, the latter slightly browned in part, dustjacket with designs by Pearl Binder to front and backstrip panels, very slightly nicked and rubbed at extremities, a little waterstaining at foot of rear panel and internal tape-repair ot a couple of horizontal cracks to backstrip panel, very good. A scarce book, the author's second novel. She had earlier established herself as a poet, under the name Ida Graves, publishing volumes with the Hogarth Press and the Fortune Press, as well as working in collaboration with her then partner, the artist Blair Hughes-Stanton, with whom she had two children. By the time of this work she had met Don Nevard, a jazz pianist, with whom she would remain until her death - the novel carries a printed dedication to 'Don and the Happy Jazzmen'. The narrative-method here, in a 'story [.] about a little servant girl who brings calamity to a childless couple without meaning to', perhaps bears traces of the influence of that musical form, with a breathless style dominated by the present tense. Graves published one other novel with Faber, as well as some works for children; a long interval followed before her poetry career was revived in the 1990s.…
