Seattle, WA & Fayetteville,
Arkansas: Mill Mountain Press / Lost Roads, No. 7-12, 1977. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good +.
First
Printing. A Very Good+
copy of Stanford's magnum opus,
copy of Stanford's magnum opus,
published
the year before he committed suicide.
A 542-page
stream-of-consciousness poem,
written in
one sentence. This copy has a section
torn from
the half-title page, as if to write a note
to Stanford
himself! But it is gently read.
(Oh, that
all our spines would be
gently read
as this copy of Stanford's magnum opus!)
The spine
has vertical creases and there is something crossed
out in
marker on the inside rear cover,
but overall
(and despite the flaws)
the book is
in very clean, collectible condition.
A cult
favorite
among poets
and slowly
gaining
broader recognition after the 2000 reprinting.
This book is
quite scarce and rarely comes
(or stays)
on the
market.
Additional
photos available upon request.
