About This Item
New York: Kulchur Press, 1967. First Edition. Near fine in original acetate jacket.. Scarce hardcover issue of this collaboration by Berrigan and Padgett, illustrated by Joe Brainard, mostly composed between 1962 and '65. Individual pieces are unattributed in the text, though credits note several contributions from other artists and writers, notably Gerard Malanga and Peter Orlovsky, and "Peter Schjeldahl says he wrote parts of WHAT THE THUNDER SAID. He didn't." From Lita Hornick's great press, includes Berrigan's fictional "interview" with John Cage. A fragile book, this is an exceptional example. 9.75'' x 7.25''. Original color pictorial boards. In original acetate jacket. Trace shelfwear at extremities. Tiny scuff to two preliminary pages. Else clean, bright, and sound.
