The Flying Trapeze

by Duncan Bush

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £4.28
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.

Unsentimental, tough-minded, and fiercely lyrical, these works of poetry are inspired by places visited, including Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, and the United States. Moreover, this collection examines a number of subjects, including the marginal lives of vagrants, gypsies, minor criminals, the burnt-out, and the bereft as well as the accomplishments of superlative athletes and the beauty of the tango. With a touch of bitter political satire, this book radiates a tension between sensual rapture and knowing cynicism.
