Item Details

Description

Title: The Penguin Book of Sick Verse – 1963 – 1st published

Description: The Penguin Book of Sick Verse – 1963 – 1st published. Introduced and Edited by: George Macbeth. Published: Penguin Books. Made and printed in Great Britain by Cox & Wyman Ltd. – London. "I have arranged the poems in this anthology to constitute a return voyage in the black ship: a voyage from morbid obsession with illness of the mind and body, through nightmare and vision to despair with the world, on to perverted action and extravagant emotion, and finally to that grim enjoyment of the voyage in retrospect which is the essence of the sick joke. Many of these poems will horrify, some will frighten, a few may disgust; several, I hope, will seem intentionally or unintentionally funny.. Very good condition, 7 1/2 x 4 3/4, rebound hardcover, 330 pages.
