THOMAS KINSELLA. — Moralities. Poems.

The Dolmen Press, Dublin, 1st Edition, First edition, limited to 500 copies printed and published at The Dolmen Press, and issued as 'The Dolmen Chapbook XII'. This one of 300 copies not reserved for subscribers, and thus issued with a dust wrapper [25 copies were casebound, 175 reserved for subscribers to The Dolmen Chapbook and issued without the dust wrapper]. Tall slim 8vo. 15pp sewn into lettered and bordered card wrappers. The text printed in black and red. A shade of toning to the free endpapers and inner wrappers, and just a trace of very light spotting to the margins of two text leaves. A very good copy in good non-price-clipped dust wrapper, which is a little tender at the natural fold, with some toning, chipping to the head, and with two quite small areas of staining to the rear panel. Sixteen poems split into four sections with a three-part verse interlude. With a printed dedication: "For my father". A nice copy of this quiet early Kinsella collection, preceded, we believe, but just two others. [A light item, UK postage will be reduced]., Very Good, Good
