Publisher's purple paper review slip loosely inserted. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has some toning to the spine and is otherwise without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (21s / £1.05 net to the lower front flap).
Signed by Derek Walcott in black ink on the title page. The Saint Lucia born, Nobel Prize winning poet and playwright's seventh collection of poetry (the fourth to be published in the UK).
