[27] pp. Original stapled wrappers. Scattered foxing to covers and preliminaries, corners a bit creased. An unsung poet who died young, Perret was just beginning to make his name upon his death in 1965 at the age of 35. In her introduction to the memorial volume on Perret published by Poésie Vivante, Rosemarie Wells-Marie notes of future scholars of Perret's work, "What 'label' will they give Christopher, to what 'school' will they attach his poetry, romantic and realistic, intimate and social, born of so rich a blood and so eventful a life?" Very Good +. Item #1000
