First edition of the first collection by the South African-born Prince. Prince had contributed several poems to Eliot’s Criterion in the mid-30s.

‘These were reprinted in his first book, Poems, published in 1938 by Faber and Faber, whose poetry list was edited by Eliot. Prince was thus among those who joined that precocious
trio – George Barker, David Gascoyne, and Dylan Thomas—as very promising “first-volumed” poets in the 1930s’ (ODNB).
