BIM Vol. IX, No. 36

St. Michaels, Barbados: Editors, January-June 1963. First Edition. Light green wrappers printed in red and black; 8vo. This copy inscribed to a prominent book dealer by the author. BIM was a long-running literary journal edited by Frank Collymore and others; Walcott was an early and longtime contributor. His contribution here the poem "Bulwark"; other contributors include Forde with a long review of Walcott's IN A GREEN NIGHT; with a review of Naipaul's THE MIDDLE PASSAGE; a full-page photo of "Vidia" Naipaul in front of a BBC microphone. Very Good, save for library stamps on front and back covers of Bennington College and Goddard College. Housed in cloth clam shell case with leather label. Certainly rare signed by the future Nobel Laureate.
