This was the first of the signed O'Briens I have. If I remember rightly he signed it in Hull in 1997.
Some of my favourite lines in all poetry are on page 20, in Latinists, where the young O'Brien is struggling with his Latin,
When the stare you award me
Takes longer than Rome did
To flower and vanish, I notice
The bells are not working in heaven today.
