Good+/ good+ Ruthven Todd (1914-1978), was a Scottish poet, artist, novelist, and William Blake expert. The year of publication was otherwise an annus horribilis for Todd, who had recently separated from his wife, Cicely (n�e Crew) and whose Bloomsbury flat was hit by a flying bomb, necessitating a move to Essex. The collection closes with poems on artists and writers, including Blake, Paul Klee, Picasso, Arthur Rimbaud and H. G. Wells.
