Loose annotated typescript poetry by Tony Curtis. 'Birthday Poem for Dannie at Ninety' is dedicated to poet and physician Dannie Abse; 'A night with Nina' refers to poet and writer Nina Hamnett; 'Sonnet for Elizabeth Fritsch' refers to the potter and ceramic artist of that name.
Different versions of the same poem are grouped together so that Curtis's development of the poem from initial rough draft(s) may be traced.
