Write About My Buddies...They're Dead
Detroit, Artists' Workshop, 1965. Antiwar poetry inspired by a newspaper story about a GI, decorated for valor, who asked a correspondent to write about his dead buddies. The poem is written in the voices of his sixteen dead comrades. The newspaper articles inspiring it are reprinted on the covers, which were designed by John Sinclair, later a noted figure in the antiwar movement and the counterculture. Acidic pages heavily browned; covers splitting at spine. A good copy only of a scarce and fragile item: originally done in an edition of 500, few seem to have survived. [#028719] SOLD
