Convolvulus and Other Poems by Kenneth Grant.
Starfire Publishing Ltd., London, 2005. 188 pages, with wrap-around colour dustjacket designed by Steffi Grant. This copy of the standard edition was signed by Kenneth and Steffi Grant for the publication launch party held at the 'Angel In The Fields' tavern, London.
This is the long-awaited volume of collected poems by Kenneth Grant. Included here are two collections previously published as Black to Black and other poems (1963) and The Gull’s Beak and other poems (1970). Also included is a third collection, previously unpublished − Convolvulus: Poems of Love and the Other Darkness. Together, these poems span the years from the nineteen-forties to the present day. Integrated with the poems are twenty-one sketches by Austin Osman Spare, drawn from several sketchbooks.
Printed on high-quality uncoated paper in black and green throughout, Convolvulus is a book of delicate beauty, where the drawings by Spare complement these haunting poems by Kenneth Grant. Here published in a limited edition of 750 copies, it will soon become a collector’s item.
