Birthday Boy: A present for Lee Harwood

Descripción

4to. Stab-stapled. Unpaginated (42pp.). An excellent collection, assembled for Harwood's sixtieth birthday, on 6 June 1999, and opening with a letter from the editors to the poet, who was in the Alps at the time. 'I imagine you sitting at some point half way up a mountain, at some traveller's resting place, sheltered under the curving canopy of a sturdy tree, to pull from your rucksack a phial of brandy and a rolled copy of this publication. in your romantic Alpine respite the words seem "just right". You know that they may never radiate that luminosity again, don't you? That's the primary mystery of reading that is at the heart of writing, at the heart of your writing more than most.' Contributors include John Ashbery, Tom Raworth, Bob and Jennifer Cobbing, Iain Sinclair, Roy Fisher, Douglas Oliver, Harry Guest, William Corbett, Anne Stevenson, Peter Riley, Tony Lopez, Ian Robinson, Ken Edwards, Richard Caddel, Alan Halsey, Kelvin Corcoran, and more. Moderate signs of handling, the staples slightly rusty. With a loosely inserted typed letter signed ('Robert') from the editors to Raworth, dated to the day of publication, plus a sheet of flyers for the book. N° de ref. del artículo 007690
