This limited edition of early works by British Revival poet Chris Torrance was published in 1968, but is not listed on the poet's Wikipedia page, where his publications begin at 1973. Of the original 500, 26 copies, lettered A-Z, included an additional hand-written poem on the front endpaper, and are very collectable. Our unnumbered book has a (different) hand-written poem, with a gift dedication to a friend - and is thus presumed to be unique. Chris Torrance (19412021) was a poet associated with the British Poetry Revival of the 1960s, mainly known for his long poetry cycle "The Magic Door", published as a series of volumes over 30 years. Sadly lacking the original dust jacket, our book is nevertheless in very good condition, bound in black cloth with gilt title etc on the spine. Light age-wear and scuffing, but no serious defects externally. Inside, the binding is tight, pages all clean, and the only tiny defect is a small dark spot on the front pastedown.
