1st edition thus, trade paperback, 304 pages.  A very good clean copy, no marks or inscriptions, small scuff on front cover where (sticky price label?) has been removed.  Cover otherwise showing minimal handling/shelf wear, commensurate with age.  (pub 1988).

In his foreword, John Ashbery states: 

'The English language is constantly trying to stave off an invasion by the American language; it lives in a state of alert which is reflected to some degree in English poetry.......Lee Harwood's English is like American English in that it lacks a strong sense of possession.  At the same time it has a pearly, soft-focus quality one rarely sees in American poetry, and which I associate with poets like Wordsworth and Arnold.....'

'These are poems of an absolute lucidity and great beauty.  At times there are resemblances to Borges, without the elements of the baroque.'   -  SUNDAY TIMES
