Detroit: Printed by Daphne and William Cox for Red Hanrahan Press, 1974. First Edition. [7],17,[1] including illustrated colophon, plus folded frontispiece from a drawing by Ann Wilson. Original wrappers, printed in green and silver, stitched. Numbered 116 of 500 copies in the colophon and signed in the title page by the author; separately signed by the author with a warm gift inscription to a fellow poet in the front free endpaper. Light oxidation to silver leaf in wrappers, some wear to wrappers' yapped edges, internally bright and clean. Near fine.
True first edition of Anne Waldman's seminal chant-style poem, inspired by the Mazatec shaman María Sabina and developed during travels in South America and India. The poem is emblematic of Waldman's interest in poetry as a "live," sung or chanted medium and led to the first publication of her poetry by City Lights. Waldman later recalled that "[u]pon hearing me read the poem on stage in San Francisco, Lawrence Ferlinghetti rushed backstage afterwards to ask to see it, saying he wanted to publish the poem in a City Lights Pocket Poets edition." Waldman agreed, and FAST SPEAKING WOMAN & OTHER CHANTS was published as Number 33 in that venerable series in 1975, bringing Waldman's work to wide new audiences. Before the City Lights edition, however, the poem, standing alone with a brief introduction by Waldman, was published by Detroit's Red Hanrahan Press in 500 numbered copies.
