Title: A MARTIAN SENDS A POSTCARD HOME.
Description: Oxford/New York/Toronto/Melbourne, Oxford University Press, 1979. 1st edition. Paperback, 21,5cmx13,5cm, Good copy. Cover illustration: 'Head of a young Pierrot' (1912) by Paul Klee. Craig Raine, winner of first and second prizes in the 1977 Cheltenham Festival of Literature, has been described by John Carey in the New Statesman as 'immensely talented'. The title poem (which won the Prudence Farmer Award) is in some way a key to the rest of the poems in this book: a uniquely innocent eye presents ad odd and beautiful version of the earth, while glimpsing, almost accidentally, the sad variety of human experience. First edition of author's second collection of poetry. 46 pag.
