POEMS
London: Faber & Faber, 1933. First edition. Hardcover. The poet's first regularly published book which included his often anthologized poem : "I Think Continually of Those Who Were Truly Great". This copy inscribed to William Edmiston (his signature on the ffep) sometimes described as the lover of Spender's brother Humphrey, himself one of Britain's most important photographers. Edmiston and Stephen's younger brother set up a photo studio in 1934 after having studied at the Architectural Academy. Inscribed "for Eddy with love from Stephen Jan. 20th, 1933." An early copy and wonderful association. Good; worn at the corners and spine-cocked, contents clean and fine. Lacking the dust jacket. Good. Item #3547
