David Rees
The London
Published by West House Books & Gratton Street Irregulars 1997
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
41 4-line poems tracking a journey through the City of London. ‘As London festers on, easier now to marvel at than visit, the intelligent poet picks on patches to squeeze, and to pinch with shocked and satisfied rhymes; scars, sacs, rust, light, old idea-stains. There’s one been going about and does a certain operation. Good to see parts of that city pinned in, with no chances for evasion. These brick-sized graffiti.’ (Roy Fisher).
