Rare First IssueKavanagh (Patrick) Self Portrait (Dolmen 1963). The very rare First Issue, with wrapper and f/p photograph by Philip Pocock showing Kavanagh in a flat cap and stained shirt, generally somewhat unkempt. Kavanagh objected to the photograph, and the edition was pulped. With a copy of the Second Issue (1964), still described as ‘First Edition’, containing new photographs by the publisher Liam Miller, showing a tidier poet. Both issues with very good wrappers. Also with the Second Edition (1975, reset, in wrappers), with the photographs in sepia. The first issue was never distributed, and only a handful of copies survived. A rare and attractive trio. The text is from a television programme broadcast by RTE in 1962. (3)
