Description:
Los Angeles:: Black Sparrow Press,, 1968.. First Printing of the First Paperback Edition. A Very Good plus copy of this 2nd state of the paperback issue where the misspelling on the front cover has been corrected with a white label. According to Krumhansl there were only 18 copies of the 1st state with the misprint and 747 copies of the 2nd state. There were also 75 hardcover copies. There is a touch of wear to spine. There are no names or markings to text. 89 pages. In this early collection of poems, Bukowski revisits some of his earlier subjects, but instead of his previous surrealistic mode his work explodes with verbal pyrotechnics shedding a fresh light on his own version of the "lower depths."

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
