"In this 'Notebook' Lawrence Durrell has recorded his strange thoughts, in prose or verse, in English or French, around the notion of blood--from its sacrificial aspect, one might have said, to its association with vampires...the train of ideas is, in fact, followed by twenty-one new poems, some first printed here, all first published in book form" (from a promotional broadside).
