POPA, Vasko (Anne Pennington, Ted Hughes)

First thus. 125 pp.. the cover shows a drawing of Vasko Popa by Mario Mascarelli, Belgrade. A good tight copy. Paper browned as usual, white covers a little age darkened, spine a little creased, owner name neatly inside cover. Vasko Popa is one of the great post-war European poets. “From surrealist fable to traditional folk-tale, from personal anecdote to tribal myth, Popa's poetry embodies in an original form the most profound imaginative truths of [life]”.
