The recipient is Frank Pike, editor at Faber, who over four decades, from the 1960s, onwards was responsible for the Faber drama list, recruiting Tom Stoppard, Simon Gray, Brian Friel, Sam Shepard, and Alan Bennett, among others, as well as working closely with authors already publishing with the firm, notably Samuel Beckett. This soulful poetry collection was a tribute to the poet's late wife, actress Lucinda Gane (1949 - 2005). The volume consists of four poetic sequences, the first, 'The Flowers of Crete', was written during Gane's final illness, and the other three, 'The Unfinished', 'The Widower's Dozen', and 'Lucinda's Way', were written in intervals after her death. Reid went on to win the 2009 Costa Book Award for the Poetry category for this collection. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
