About This Item
San Francisco: City Lights Pocket Bookshop, 1956. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, first issue with Lucien Carr listed on the dedication page and a period after Harlem on the rear cover. Publisher's black wraps printed in blue with white wraparound printed in black. Near Fine with toning, light lifting to bottom corner of wrap-around band at rear cover, former owner name and date to title page, small area of wear at staple and verso of front wrap, pages lightly thumbed. An undisputed cornerstone of beat poetry, Ginsberg's initial inspiration came from a terrifying vision he had during a San Francisco peyote trip. The poem defined a generation.
