Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £763.47
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Poetry. A meditation on color inspired by Minoan Crete and shaped like a medieval dream poem, glossed by picture credits, acknowledgements and a table of contents. At the same time, this book is a love poem testing the language of commerce on board an Odyssean North Sea ferry, telephoned from the deck where Shakespeare's Pericles hears the music of the spheres. "FOR SILVER SEE BLUE is a poem which reaches back through history and layers of language. This journey--across water, underground, up a mountain--is charted with a keen attention to physical detail and a quiet sense of the wholeness of dispersed elements. Storhaug's playful patterning of sounds and shapes gives the text a sculpted character, and the layout embodies the act of discovery, creating both bizarre and beautiful juxtapositions. It is a warm human document which communicates depth of experience without any parade of the lyric ego"--Gavin Selerie.
