As Jon Stallworthy is himself a poet this book is more than a biography; it is a "poet's illuminating enquiry into the operations of a poet's mind". Red cloth with gilt titles. Endpapers printed with maps: north east France, showing the stages of German withdrawal to the Hindenberg Line, 1917. Rust coloured cloth.
