About This Item
Francestown: Typographeum, 1983. Limited private press edition. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. Illustrated by Anthony Palliser and Alannah Coleman. 8vo. Burgundy cloth. Printed label on back-strip (spare label tipped in). 96 pp. Illus. 100 numbered copies hand-set, printed letterpress and bound by R. T. Risk. Issued without a dust-jacket. Illustrated by Anthony Palliser and Alannah Coleman. Alister Kershaw was already regarded, at seventeen, as one of Australia's most interesting poets. However his poetry appeared in severely limited editions, and this volume brings it all together for the first time. Alister's life was as interesting as his poetry too. As a young man in 1947 he went to Europe and eventually settled in France, first in Paris and then in retirement at a lovely cottage in a hamlet in the middle of the wine making region around Sancerre. He is perhaps now known most for his friendship with Richard Aldington and his unselfish support of Aldington when the latter fell on hard times and became ill towards the end of his life. All in all, it is a remarkable story.
