Description

First American edition. 8vo, publisher?s original green cloth over boards, lettered in gilt on the spine, in the colour illustrated dustjacket. 123 pp. A very fine, as pristine copy, lightly mellowed at the spine panel.

Edizione: a sweeping collection of poems. ?the title poem is set on an island that has been a site of pilgrimage in ireland for over a thousand years. a narrative sequence, it is an autobiographical quest concerned with ?the growth of a poet?s mind.? there are also many poems with richly meditative lyrics and the final section is in the voice of the legendary sweeney, a king of ulster. a marvelous group of poems.
