About This Item
Black Sparrow Press, 1980. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Association copy, inscribed by one Beat great to another, from Wakoski to Gary and Masa Snyder on the deep blue FFEP: For the Snyders, An offering. That the inscription is on blue makes it somewhat difficult to read, and photograph. The signature is her uncommon, more-intimate, stylized "D" reserved for friends, and it's dated "June 1982," with one of her patented flower illustrations (modest aside Ginsberg s daisies). This book was originally accompanied by another Wakoski volume inscribed For Gary Snyder, with great admiration, confirming it is those Snyders (photo of the other book available). Softcover edition, mustard wraps with royal blue free endpapers. Near fine because of some minor creasing at the books corners. Please inquire for photos.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
