Re-issue. Slim 8vo., 57, [1] pp. Stiff card wraps. Cover design by Pentagram with illustration by Charlotte Everest-Phillips.

A Poetry Book Society Choice. Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, the Cholmondeley Award, the Eric Gregory Award, and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. Author's first regularly published book, preceded only by Eleven Poems (1965), a pamphlet published by Queen's University, Belfast. A collection of thirty-four short poems, written well before the renewed outbreak of the 'Troubles' in 1968, yet prescient of colonisation's aftermath, it homes in on childhood experiences, the evolution of adult identities, and familial relationships in a mostly rural setting. Recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in literature.
