Description
Selected Poems
by John Tranter.
Hale & Iremonger, Sydney, 1982.
First Edition paperback, signed with inscription to former owner.
Cover design by Toni Hope-Caten.
A selection of poems written between the late 1960s to the early 1980s by one of the most significant poets of the post war generation and key driver in the new poetry of the late sixties.
The publication is also a warning about the ease with which poets can be forgotten when republications of poetic works are rare. Having published six books of poetry by 1982 all out of print, the poems here were the ones Tranter wanted to survive. (Preface)
A superb production by Hale & Iremonger, the publishing firm established by former NSW Green’s politician Sylvia Hale, Roger Barnes and John Iremonger.
Condition: Cover slightly worn and minor spotting, otherwise very good.
