DZAEZL. 1979.`

Dunsyre: Wild Hawthorn Press, n.d. (1979)

15 x 21cm, 16pp plus printed end papers (with a reproduced drawing of an aircraft carrier) and white card covers with dust jacket. The seven reproduced paintings by John Borg Manduca are accompanied by quotations and poems by Finlay.
The title poem has anagrams of the word “dazzle” accompanied by a “dazzle” painted boat – however the word dazzle is not part of the poem because the “camouflage” has worked (see separate listing for the unique glass work of the same poem).
Sadly the staples here have rusted and slightly discoloured parts of the inner sheets near the fold else VG+.
