Kathmandu, Nepal: Bardo Matrix, 1974. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo (8 1/8 x 5 inches; 216 x 128 mm), [10 leaves], in stapled wrappers (soft cover). A collection of seven poems printed on delicate rice paper, one of 500 copies issued by Bardo Matrix in Kathmandu. The cover features a fabulous photo of Ford by the Beat poet, photographer, and Bardo Matrix co-founder Ira Cohen (the photo is mounted to the cover). There are also several woodcuts, including a skeleton template designed by Ford. No. 3 in Bardo Matrix's Starstreams Poetry Series. Ford (1908-2002) was a prolific author whose first poem appeared in The New Yorker while he was still a teenager. He co-wrote the book "The Young and Evil" (Paris: Obelisk Press, 1933) with Parker Tyler; some consider the book the first gay novel. He was probably best known as the editor of two influential magazines: Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms, and View, an important Surrealist art and literature magazine.

London: Ernest Benn Ltd., 1932. First Edition. Octavo (8 1/4 x 5 3/8 inches; 210 x 135 mm), 32 pages, including the wrappers, in stitched self-wrappers. A collection of 24 poems, including some of his most famous works, such as The Road Not Taken, Mending Wall, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, and others. The binding is rather odd, to say the least. The publishers took simulated linen paper and pasted it over the original self-wrappers. They cut a panel in the front cover exposing only "Robert Frost" in the title. (Indeed, you can see the original lettering if you hold both wrappers up to the light.) This is "Binding B," according to the standard Frost bibliography, Robert Frost: A Descriptive Catalogue of Books and Manuscripts in the Clifton Waller Barrett Library, University of Virginia. Compiled by Joan St. C. Crane. Crane A16. Copies of this fragile volume are scarce to the market. SCARCE. CONDITION: Some paper loss to spine, closed tears to lower wrapper, creasing to both wrappers,…

Description:
[San Francisco]: Auerhahn Press, No date but ca. 1959.First Edition, First Printing. Single sheet folded to create a broadside with printing on five of the eight panels. Measures 5 5/8 x 5 inches (143 x 128 mm) when folded. SIGNED by Michael McClure, one of the authors featured in this broadside for Auerhahn publications. The broadside features excerpts of poetry by McClure, John Wieners, Philip Lamantia, and Philip Whalen. The idea was to promote Auerhahn's books and pamphlets. Although the broadside doesn't contain a publication date, we estimate 1959, based on the broadside's list of forthcoming publications. Dave Haselwood founded Auerhahn in 1958 and published works that increased the influence of the Beat movement. His publications "were known to those on the scene as thoughtfully designed, beautifully produced aesthetic objects showcasing some of the finest voices of the 'new poetry.'" (Steven Belletto, The Beats: A Literary History, page 252.) Michael McClure, who signed this broadside, was…
