New York: Birth Press, 1961. First Edition. Wraps. Very good. A selection of writing by children, selected and edited by Tuli Kupferberg and his wife Sylvia Topp. Swing was printed in four volumes in 1960-61. Before achieving fame with freak folk band The Fugs, Tuli Kupferberg was a counterculture poet, pacifist, anarchist, and publisher who served as the inspiration for a character in Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" (1956). As Ginsberg and Kupferberg acknowledged, he was the one who "jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge this actually happened and walked away unknown and forgotten." This was a reference to Kupferberg's 1945 suicide attempt off the Manhattan Bridge (not Brooklyn) that had been precipitated by what he called a nervous breakdown. Octavo: 36 p. Original printed paper wrappers, bound with two staples. Minor wear along the spine; otherwise very good.
