Procedures for Underground

Margaret Atwood

Oxford University Press, Oxford. 1970. Fourth printing. Paperback, some light yellowing to front and rear boards.tiny crease to top right corner, interior pristine. Shockingly good condition, a very good copy.

From the publisher:

The poems of Procedures for Underground explore the territory of the psyche, evoking mythological archetypes, subconscious experience, and personal obsessions. This space of epiphanies and metamorphosis is, for Atwood, the "underground."

One of my favorite collections by Atwood, pushing into deeper mythic territory than some of her later collections. Truly compelling stuff - highly recommended.
