1956 Saint Botolph's Review. Including poems by David Ross, E. Lucas Myers, Daniel Huws, Daniel Weissbort, four poems by Ted Hughes, as well as An Impression in Hospital by Than Minton, Aunt Palestine's Girl by E. Lucas Myers, and Letter from a Painter by George Weissbort. Original red card wraps in cream dust wrapper, very smart condition with just light bumping to the top of the wraps & some rust staining surrounding staples to gutter resulting in some loosening to leaves. 8vo.
This is the student publication responsible for introducing Sylvia Plath to Ted Hughes' poetry; she purchased a copy of this review on the day it was published, before meeting him the same evening at the launch party where they shared their first kiss. As well as being an important piece of Plath & Hughes' love story, this is the work in which Hughes' poetry is published under his name for the first time.
