RAINE, Craig.
A Martian Sends a Postcard Home.
Oxford University Press, 1979. First edition. 8vo. Publisher's soft wrappers (no hardbound edition published). A very near fine copy of author's scarce second book.
The term "Martian" school of poetry derived from this title of Raine's second collection and refers to the "alien eye" with which the poet views and describes everyday life and objects on earth, as if encountered for the first time, using innovative and highly striking simile.
