About This Item

San Francisco: City Lights Books. Good. 1961. First Edition; Second Printing. Softcover. Signed first edition, likely second issue. Ginsberg's signature on title page along with circled "AH" and the date 5/27/94. Black and white wrappers. Some toning, especially to spine; mild soiling; wear along edges and hinges. One signature is detached (title page to page 22) but all content is present. Interior is clean. Overall good condition. Identified as second issue by seven line statement and price of $1.50 on rear wrapper as well as the lack of an imprint for Villiers on page 100.This poetry collection by counterculture icon and Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg was number 14 in City Lights' famed Pocket Poets Series. The lead poem "Kaddish," considered one of Ginsberg's finest, is a stunningly emotional and confessional celebration of his mother's life and lamentation of her death. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 100 pp; Signed by Author .
