About This Item
Atlas Press, London., 1989. First edition of the Tablets up to this point. One more was included in the final edition of 1999. Octavo. pp 108, [2] adverts. A long poem often compared with Pound's Cantos and Zukovsky's A. The conceit is that the poem is constructed from translations, or attempted translations, or failed translations, from Sumerian or Akkadian clay tablets from 4,000 years ago.One of 50 numbered copies, casebound, signed by the author.Spine slightly faded and spine label rubbed. Very good indeed. A fairly early work from Alastair Brotchie's redoubtable Atlas Press and very scarce.
