Description
Pickard, Bill. All Systems Stop: 40 Poems. Bristol: Circle in the Square Publications, 1968. First Edition. Stapled A4 / Card Covers. Very Good. 32pp. Although undated stapled to the rear cover is a signed letter from Pickard to Peter Armstrong who, with Ian Vine edited a Bristol poetry magazine, Track, dated February 1968 saying the book is recently published. Presumably his first book assuming that the 14 poems marked as previously published appeared in magazines & very likely his own Circle in the Square? Covers a touch handled & even lightly nibbled!
