Five Fugitive Poems.

£25 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Two of the six poems are here first published, including “Passing the love of Women”, of which Fletcher notes that Gray “did not recall having written this poem … it is not precisely in Gray’s manner, suggesting rather a melancholy Uranian schoolmaster … its competence and feeling, though are well above that of George Ives or any of the homo-erotic poets of the 1890s”. Mint copy.
