No. 2 - the second issue of the original first series of this renowned poetry magazine, edited by Tambimuttu, published in April 1939, in nice collectable condition. This pre-war second issue of Poetry (London) magazine is scarce - all the Poetry (London) magazines are very fragile productions, and seldom found now in such clean condition. A magazine now over 80 years old. Of interest to collectors of poetry first editions, and the publications of Poetry London. ***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.
