About This Item
1st Edition . Paperback. Good. The Mélissa Press, Villa Vigoni, Draguginan, second edition, 1962; originally published as Blue Moon Booklet No 7 in 1931; 8vo, 16pp in all numbered only 5 to 13; printed on cream laid paper and hand sewn into brown wrappers; wrappers irregularly and lightly browned as usual and with a light crease by the upper outer corner; some foxing and light edge browning of the contents but overall a good copy of this somewhat eccentric work, by the imagist poet who had died the year of this publication. Aldington was one of the group of war poets commemorated in a memorial in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. His 1927 biography of T E Lawrence scandalised many readers with its charges of Lawrence's being a liar, charlatan and homosexual and aroused a considerable storm, damaging Lawrence's reputation in the process. Aldington, was friendly or otherwise associated with many literary figures of the period - Ezra Pound, D H Lawrence, Wyndham Lewis, Ford Madox Ford, T S Eliot, the Bloomsbury Group, and many others - and in his writing style rarely took prisoners. NOTE that as the item weighs on a few grams it can be sent using letter rather than packet post and hence the carriage costs reduced.
