POEMS 1963 - 1983

First edition, first printing. Inscribed by the author. Publisher's original laminated card covers. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with just mild rubbing at the extremities. The contents, ever so slightly spotted to the text block edge are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps.

Inscribed by the author in blue ink on the half title "For Pat / with warmth / C. K. Williams / June 93". Published simultaneously in the UK and US (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). Provenance: from the library of the multi-award winning poet Pat Borthwick.
