First edition. The first comprehensive collection of Malcolm Lowry's poetry featuring two extremely rare photographs of the author during the final period of his life.

Edited by Lowry's close friend, Earle Birney, Canadian poet and novelist, alongside Lowry's widow, Marjerie, this Pocket Poets edition unites poems previously published as well as those never seen before.

"Success is like some horrible disaster/…Fame like a drunkard consumes the house of the soul" admits Lowry in his poem, "After Publication of Under the Volcano".

Malcolm Lowry is most famous for his novel Under the Volcano, which follows the final hours of an English alcoholic living in Mexico on the Day of The Dead and tracks all that transpires in a tangential story reminiscent of Joyce's Ulysses, for whom he was eventually claimed a successor. Although a grand accomplishment for an aspiring writer in their twenties, the book would not be published for almost a decade. It was in 1939 that Lowry met his wife, Marjerie, who came to his aid and fierecly edited his work, prompting him in new creative directions to an eventual finish line that brought him wide acclaim. Their intensely tempestuous relatonship makes Marjerie's influence on this partiuclar compilation more intruging.

Published five years after Lowry's tragic death- in the preface to this moving edition, Earle Birney writes, "The world he could not live with is drowning in its own element. The self-drownded poet survives here in his".

Soft, fit, and love the color
Size: XX-Large, Color: Slate Grey/White
I love how soft these are and the grayish-violet color. They seem well made and wash well- especially for the price. You can’t see through them. They are mid weight so they keep you warm enough for air conditioning and Florida cold. Probably not snow worthy or wind strength though. They are true to size if you want them to fit but not cling or act like leggings. They have just enough room. I bought the matching jacket but I’m more thrilled with just the pants. The jacket fits as it should but not over my too many milkshakes stomach.

Happy with purchase
Size: Medium, Color: Flamingo Pink/White, Size: Medium, Color: Flamingo Pink/White
Acceptable product. Good fit and fabric feels nice. A little see through if you squat and have on dark or patterned under pants but if you wear undies that are your skin color, there’s no issue at all. I wish they came in a length that was just past the calf. These are a little long to be on my top go to legging for yoga. Minus one star due to lack of length options.

Well made and comfortable
Size: Small, Color: Slate Grey/White, Size: Small, Color: Slate Grey/White
Very cute and comfortable workout set! I bought the leggings and the matching sports bra sold separately. I am 5'4" , 125 lbs and bought a small in each. The leggings are tight but not too tight, doesn't dig in and doesn't roll down. Well made and thick material. Worked great for a very sweaty hot yoga class. I'll be buying more in different colors.

Fall or Winter
Size: Large, Color: Black/White
For me, these leggings are a perfect fit and perfect for Fall & Winter, maybe early Spring. Summer though, I would not dare. Comfort wise, the leggings are soft and perfect for the gym, grocery shopping, lounging, even sleep. I passed out in mine and slept just fine.

Pro: the color is just as pictured and it’s a very soft material. Come: runs big, loose in the ankle and in the waist minimal compression
