Autumn Crocus
An Philibin
Published by The Kerryman, Tralee, 1947

Hardcover, with dust jacket. First Edition published by the Kerryman in 1947. There is a hint of sharpness in these poems as befits the title; the drawing in of an October evening, the first light touch of ground frost in the air. Vicissitudes of Spring and Summer are viewed in retrospect and perspective. There is little colour in the dun earth; here, deep in the late aftergrass, rises a pallid travesty of Spring bloom; a united country- Mother Ireland to whose breast all her children turn, instinctively towards sundown. Rare. Seller Inventory # 622
