Human Geography

Reprinted edition of Human Geography by Simon Armitage. Small format softcover in new condition. Signed by the artist on the title page. About Human Geography was Poet Laureate Simon Armitage’s first-ever poetry pamphlet, published in 1986 when he was just twenty-three years old. It was a time for him of experiment and potential – ‘when I felt like a nobody but could dream about being anybody’. That spirit of possibility, openness and youthful optimism is captured in the poems themselves. Forty years on and with a new, retrospective introduction, this signed edition returns us to the starting point of Armitage’s extraordinary writing life.
