About This Item
Chicago: Midwest, 1962. Paperback. (Number 4). 12mo. Stiff yellow wrappers. 39pp. Poetry contributors include Robert Bly, Charles Bukowski, Cid Corman, Marvin Bell and Lucien Stryk. Interesting that Bukowski was inadvertently omitted from the list of contributors. First appearance of his poem "12,000 Dollars in 3 Months..." This copy came from the library of JOHN BEECHER (1904-80), noted social protest poet and fine press publisher. His artist wife, Barbara (1925-2016), inks "Marked Copy see Pg. 15" in red on the front wrapper, and on aforementioned page (in editor Cuscaden's article "A Prodigious Cornucopia: Poetry From The Small Presses") she also marks in red a paragraph favorably reviewing her and her husband's press: "Few presses, anywhere, are producing as fine a job of printing as John Beecher and his wife Barbara are turning out at Rampart Press... not only beautifully printed, but also contain some excellent poetry...." An uncommon early Bukowski item and a lovely association copy. DORBIN C154.
