| Description | '21 poems' was published as a short print-run by the Celandine Press in 1986 and was illustrated by Robert Tilling.
There is considerable overlap in its contents with 'Field of vision' which was published by Macmillan in 1988.
Many of the poems included in '21 poems' and 'Field of vision' were subsequently re-published in a revised US edition of 'Secret destinations: selected poems 1977-1988' (1989), with poems from other recent Causley collections.
All of the papers in this section are clearly marked by Causley as '21 poems'.
