The poet's first book. In the late 1930s Treece founded the New Apocalypse movement, an attempt to express his fresh Neo-Romanticism views. This, Treece's debut, presents seventeen short poems and eleven poems from an unfinished work, all deeply personal and occasionally bordering on surrealism. Dust jacket now protected in a clear, removable archival sleeve.
