SF: City Lights Publishers, 2001. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. An association copy: pasted to the front free endpaper is a handwritten and signed postcard from the book's editor, City Lights founder and publisher, and San Francisco Renaissance poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The postcard, dated 1978, mentions enclosing poems for Clemente to consider for a new journal he was editing (which was The West Hills Review). Clemente was a professor at SUNY and his papers are held at Rochester University. This anthology is described as a "comprehensive selection from the influential City Lights Pocket Poets Series [ . . .] a landmark retrospective, celebrating forty years of publishing and cultural history." City Lights famously published Ginsberg's Howl and much else. A small book, sextodecimo, in pictorial paper boards without a dust jacket as issued; a fine copy. The postcard is fully pasted to the FFEP and is very good with browning to edges, ink slightly faded, and one corner slightly clipped.
