Tarn, Nathaniel

OCTOBER. A Sequence of Ten Poems Followed by Requiem Pro Duabus Filiis Israel. With Twelve Drawings by Paul Vaughan.

London: Trigram Press, 1969. Paul Vaughan. First edition. Hardcover. 4to. Bound in white cloth with dust jacket (a deluxe edition of 100 copies was bound in buckrum number and signed by the poet). These ten poems are published here for the first time. Those familiar with Nathaniel Tarn's three previous volumes will recognise a departure in style and language from the complex preoccupation with mythic and anthropological sources which distinguished his earlier work. These moving and passionate poems are a sustained personal statement of crisis, breakdown and renewal. A near fine copy in a near fine jacket. Item #15042
