4to and 8vo. Generally very good to fine some wrinkles and folds . Item #333072 Basil Bunting 1900-1985 was close with Pound and was associated with Zukovsky and the Objectivist poets. Attention to his work flagged in the post-war years until the publication in 1966 of his long poem, Briggflatts. Wylie, who began his career as a poet before becoming the biggest literary agent in the world, arranged for Bunting to do a reading at Harvard.
