Books

First edition, first impression, one of 300 first issue copies of the poet's first major collection, containing some of his most popular verses, including "Church Going". This copy has Bloomfield's points for the first impression: "the misprint 'floor' for 'sea' in the first line of the poem 'Absences' on p. 38 and a list of subscribers before publication on pp. [44-45]". Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Spine slightly cocked and bumped, contents lightly toned; jacket unclipped, spine sunned as often, a couple of short splits to folds and nicks to extremities: a very good copy in very good jacket. Bloomfield A6(a).
