Melbourne, Vic: National Press, 1970. one of 100 copies. Two poems by Lea with illustrations by Elenberg. It is doubtful that the one hundred copies of this edition were ever completed. Each copy has two original artworks, and each has two pages of the first poem handwritten by Shelton Lea (the other text and illustrations are printed offset). Elenberg’s work is in watercolour wash over pencil and charcoal with the addition of collage in the second image — a very artfully cut and applied eye. Each copy is thus unique. Wrappers printed offset on lighter laid paper with the other reproduced text and illustrations on heavy English wove. this copy signed by elenberg. Three folded sheets [345 x 250] with heavy glassine interleaved. In clear acetate jacket, as issued. With Elenberg exhibition ephemera laid in. $500.00his first bookShelton Lea has not been writing poetry for all that long, so it issurprising, and delightful, to find, in his first book of poems, the serenevision and measured rhythms of a much older poet. Rarely these days,and for reasons that stare us in the face, does a poet manage to conveythe state of rapture before things that is the true soul of Romanticism. Nocynicism in Shelton, no sophistrionics, no bad verse either; essentiallyhappy, liquid and lilting, like the Moon poem which certainly opens upa new era in lunar inspiration. richard murphy256.Corners in Cans: Poems.
