'scape, 2013, 5*, blue, books, brown, elm, emergence, gold, green, Greenwich Park, grey, history, lifetimes, London, oak, Roan School for Boys, sky, time
deep into the thinnest pages
soft as clean-cut sheets opened
either side stepped gently to
easy at-ten-tion typeface slightly
Edwardian-fine disciplined and
careers-old always supported by
slightly rubbled covers maybe
green maybe blue maybe
brown and embossed title
and publisher’s crest
tireless examples of grammar
with locating particularities which
only knit into a texture of
communication when gazing out
through the window at the
oaks and elms of Greenwich Park
and the deep grey skies over London

Love the history in this. I remember these books well. My own and the ones I saw so many times in the used book store I worked.
