[32] pp., 15 x 15 cm., staple-bound
Edition of 300
Called “the greatest living poet today” by no less an authority than Jack Kerouac, bill bissett is the author of over seventy books. This early title is still available for around twenty-five dollars, despite being limited to three hundred copies and over fifty years old.
The handmade book (with the cover and verso text hand scrawled) consists of typed poems, typewriter poems and simple marker drawings.
My copy is signed to me and also contains the name of its previous owner: poet Earle Birney.
