Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co, 1929, Hardcover, Book Condition: Very Good, First
As might be guessed from the title, many of these poems take their inspiration from Venice and from Morgan’s travels in Italy more generally. Many of the poetic themes touch on coded indications of Morgan’s homosexuality like a 91 stanza poem on “An Incident in the Life of Ganymede….” And another series of sonnets on the life of Benvenuto Cellini. There is slight fraying at the top of the spine but otherwise the book is in very good condition. Size: Octavo . Category: Poetry;
