The Dead Seagull by George Barker (Humphrey Spender Dust Jacket)

‘This is recognisably the work of a poet being short, lyrical and strong. It is the closely-observed story of a love affair, sometimes brutally scathing, sometimes almost pornographic; above all it is an unparalleled description of the power of sexual love.’  First edition.  No highlighting, underlining or inscriptions.  Pages clean.  Binding strong.  Dust-jacket a little worn.  Edges slightly foxed.
