Privately published single poem, "Departure", by the celebrated Canadian poet Campbell, one of the "Confederation Poets" and considered Canada's unofficial poet laureate. Poem is printed on small slip of paper bound in limp card wraps. Copy is in good condition. The card wraps and poem itself are in excellent shape with a solid, secure binding. A strip of torn paper stuck to the rear of the cover is an unfortunate blemish, as is a small square of masking tape with figure "8" on front cover. Else, a charming exemplar of a scarce, almost singular work.
