Item #63945 Clouds without Water. Aleister CROWLEY, "Rev. C. Verey"

Clouds without Water.

Des Plaines, IL: Yogi Publication Society, ND (circa 1973). Reprint. Softcover. Small octavo. xxii+ 142 pp. White flexible wrappers with gilt titling to upper cover. A modern softcover reprint of a book of poetry that Crowley originally published semi-clandestinely in 1909 with Renouard of Paris (who had earlier published Crowley's homo-erotic parody, the 'Bagh-I-Muattar'). The poetry has some erotic undertones - which presumably explains why Crowley playfully published it under the name of a fictitious Priest "The Rev. C. Verey" and had the words "Privately Printed for Circulation Amongst Ministers of Religion" printed on the title page of the original edition. Light rubbing to covers which a little darkened, page edges darkened with some spot browning, pages lightly toned with a little browning to inner margins - but clean and unmarked. Overall a tight, clean better than VG copy. Item #63945
