The Roman Quarry

The group contains manuscript and typescript drafts of most of the poems which appear in the volume with also some material which was unused.
The Roman Quarry and other sequences was edited by Harman Grisewood and René Hague, and first published by Agenda Editions in 1981. (See the foreword and introduction for information on how the material was selected from the archive for publication in this volume.) The volume is made up of some unpublished poetry, but also poetry which may have been part of The Anathemata (1952), The Sleeping Lord (1974), The Kensington Mass (1975) or The Narrows (1981). Most of the papers are from Group B.

Grisewood, Harman, 1906-1997
