They enjoyed it; and we enjoy what they have written, without apology." Few forms of writing are more wickedly enjoyable (and discomforting) than satirical verse, and Geoffrey Grigson's selection - which ranges from Skelton and John Donne to Auden and Clive James, by way of such masters of the art as Dryden, Swift, Pope, Churchill, and Byron has its full quota of worldly bishops, corrupt statesmen, pompous officials, and pretentious hacks brought under the punitive lash; but it also includes much of what its editor describes as "satire of a milder levity - satire of amusement which is directed at conditions and circumstances, at common states of mind or the cliches of sentimentalism". The result is an invigorating and varied collection, which includes much that is little known or unjustly forgotten, as well as such classics as Mac Flecknoe and Beppo.'

No. 8 - the eighth issue of the original first series of this renowned poetry magazine, edited by Tambimuttu, published during the Second World War. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, and the publications of Poetry London. ***The wartime issues of Poetry (London) magazine are now quite scarce, and copies in such nice collectable condition are seldom seen. Issue No. 8 was the second of the series to have a full colour cover, and be expanded from 36 to 64 pages, which was quite a challenge considering it was published under wartime restrictions. A superb example of this magazine. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
