A reprint of Crowley's spectacularly filthy poem to Leah Hirsig, also known as Alostrael. Crowley states in one of his diary entries from June, 1920: 'Against all principals, and in breach of two promises, I have sat up all night in the snows, writing a poem to Leah. One long poem - an occasional publishable line thrown in when I weakened. 7am: I think I'll collect all my filth in one poem and mark it Leah in plain figures. 10am: I think I did'. Includes a one-page foreword.
