THOMAS, DYLAN. 18 Poems. London: The Sunday Referee and The Parton Bookshop [1934]. 8vo, original black cloth, flat gilt-lettered spine, fore and bottom edges roughly trimmed, very defective dust jacket; half morocco slipcase. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE (one of 250 copies) of the author's first book, INSCRIBED BY THOMAS in red ink on front free endpaper: "Caitlin's copy lent to Emma Swan. 1938. Dylan T." His wife's name "Caitlin" was originally written (by her?) in black ink; Thomas has written over this in red ink in making the generous "loan" of his wife's copy. Rolph B1a; Hayward 343; Connolly, The Modern Movement 78a: "These first poems...shattered for those who discovered them the whole revolutionary optimism of the 'thirties. 'I see the boys of summer in their ruin' cancelled out 'O Comrades, o young comrades' of Spender and restored mystery to verse."
