Hi all
On ebay currently, a Serbian seller is selling a first edition copy of a poetry book titled
Avebury by British poet Richard Burns, published in 1972 by Anvil Press, and signed to the late Serbian poet Ivan V. Lalić (1931–1996) for
$46.99. I was curious about the book and about Burns. He's new to me but probably is not new to British-based poets. I have discovered that the poet's real name is
Richard Berengarten and he has had an accomplished career. I found a free pdf copy of
Avebury available for download
on line so I guess I will not be sending my money to Serbia! The book-long poem, about the prehistoric megalithic monument near Stonehenge and not as touristy... worth seeing if you are in the UK -- the large stone circle encircles the village of Avebury -- makes for a provocative read.
