Revolutionary Letters

Revolutionary Letters

New York: Communications Company, 1968.

First edition. Published simultaneously by the Artists Workshop Press in Ann Arbor, with no known priority. 10pp including covers. Side-staples wrappers. Very Good. Tape ghost to rear cover, some light edge wear, thumbing and toning. Two holograph corrections to #1, and penned beneath letter #12: "A girl named Diane called one hour ago + asked Ben to return the call." As per Gary Lepper's A Bibliographical Introduction to Seventy-Five Modern American Authors, this is supposed to collect Letters #1-15. The present copy is lacking Letters 3-6, 14 and 15, though it is possible they were never bound in as there are no signs of them being extracted.

A series of poems written with a blend of beat, utopian anarchism, ecological awareness, Zen and feminism. She would continue to expand on this project over her lifetime, with each subsequent edition containing more poems. Item #140939943

Price: $750.00
