In 1954 Faber returned to the idea and format of the Ariel Poems for a second short series of eight titles. Again, they partnered the poets with the most illustrators and artists. The poets included Eliot, Auden, Spender and Royal Campbell while the artists included Edward Ardizzone and John Piper. Above is the beginning of the poem ‘The Other Wing’ by Louis MacNeice and the pamphlet paired the poem with wonderful illustrations by Michael Ayrton – a superb choice for the mythology of this poem.
