Paperback. Condición: New. Main. 'Wake up, Hall! There'll be plenty of timeAfter this lesson for your poetry stuff.'Sniggerings from the back. An urgent rhymeJumps on my mind and drives old Euclid off.Those are the opening lines from one of J. C. Hall's later poems, Curriculum Vitae, recalling his boyhood stirrings as a poet. His first published outing could hardly have been more auspicious, it was in a volume he shared with Keith Douglas and Norman Nicholson.
