London England: Faber & Faber. Very Good/No Jacket. 1970. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0571089046 Hardcover Hardcover. First Edition. Vernon Watkins, 1906-67. Ex-University of Bristol library with ex-University of Bristol markings. Small mark to bottom edge of spine. Brown spine with gilt lettering. When a poet dies we are all diminished by his death; if we read and admire his work, if we know the man, we mourn directly, but we are also conscious of a more general loss. No more will the language used by his society be rejuvenated and clarified by his absorbed struggle to subdue it to his vision, nor will there ever be more of those images, born to contemplation and observation, to compliment our understanding with their surprising truth. This collection of tributes to the memory of Vernon Watkins grew from such recognition. Illustrated. 105 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.) .
