Publication: London, Brookside Press, 1972

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 32.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume is tightly bound in its original dark green cloth, with bright, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine. The boards remain sharp and free from bumping or notable shelf-wear. The text block is square, showing only the faintest touch of dusting to the top edge, while the internal pages remain crisp, bright, and completely free of foxing or spotting. The original salmon-pink dust jacket is also in Near Fine condition, retaining its vibrant tone without any sun-fading. There is merely some trivial rubbing to the spine extremities and a very faint touch of edge-wear, but it remains intact and unclipped, displaying the original 60p price on the front flap.

Catalogue Note: First edition. A remarkably scarce volume of poetry published by the London-based small press, Brookside Press, and printed by Villiers Publications. This copy features the author's signature, "Keith Wright", neatly inscribed in black ink to the front free endpaper.

Issued in a minimalist dust jacket over cloth boards, copies of this work are exceptionally uncommon on the open market, particularly in such well-preserved condition and bearing the poet's signature.

Visions: Selected Poems presents a compelling collection of early 1970s poetry by Keith Wright. Divided into thematic sections encompassing dreams, earthly enticements, and the transition from childhood innocence, the verses offer an evocative exploration of time, art, and memory. This slim, privately printed volume captures the quiet introspection and distinctive voice of a lesser-known poet of the era.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
