W. H. Allen, London, 1964. Book condition: very good. Minor shelf wear only. Dust jacket condition: good. Price clipped. Spine a little discoloured. Some light shelf wear/rubbing. A little chipping to head and tail of spine. Some light soiling here and there. Jacket in a protective sleeve. Sillitoe's first collection of poetry since The Rats. A collection marked by pleasingly exact observations, by bold use of natural speech rhythms, and the sensitive eye which sees 'Leaves burn into a swarm of flies' in the poem Autumn Nightfire.
