About This Item

Los Angeles: Black Sparrow Press, 1969. First edition. Fine/Very Good +. Number 184 of 250 signed by the author on the limitation page. A Fine copy in Very Good+ publisher's acetate. Bound in tan boards with green cloth backstrip and maintaining paper title on spine. Interior appearing virtually unread with like exterior. Publisher's acetate with the expected scuffing and two tears near the crown.

A book of poems dedicated to Bukowski's first love, Jane, in which we find the author particularly vulnerable. Although their romantic relationship had ended well before Jane died in 1962, Bukowski was with her in her final days and mourned her afterwards. Multiple poems express the author's longing for their lost love. In addition to vivid and emotional descriptions, readers will delight in the literary references peppered throughout the poems.

Krumhansl 32. Fine in Very Good + dust jacket.

Synopsis

Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp (1994).
