Description

Abse Dannie; Rollinson Anthony & Pereira Steven (editors); Responders: Pursglove Glyn; Orrillard Nigel; Vine Steven; Hodgkin Kate; Smith Chris; Stevens Judith. Responses: Number 1: Dannie Abse. Swansea: University College of Swansea, 1990. First Edition. Stapled A4 Wrappers. Very Good. (16pp.) including printed covers. Abse’s three poems titled Alternative Monologues are The Excavation, History & Meurig Dffyd to his Mistress. The responses are reproduced exactly as they were received whether typed, in holograph or illustrated. The last 3 pages are comprised of Abse’s own responses to both the poems & its responses. Although projected as a series of 12 issues, the next advertized as being based on the work of Robert Sheppard, it appears as if this was the only issue to appear. Short tear on spine edge of rear wrapper. Quite scarce
