The Earth Compels. London: Faber & Faber, 1938. First Edition. A nice bright copy in dust jacket.

“Mr. MacNeice’s position as a poet was incontestably established in 1935 by his first volume of Poems. He is one of the few poets to-day none of whose poems could have been written by anyone else. His second volume has been awaited for some time: now that it has arrived, it needs no advertisement.”
