No Binding. Very Good. Nine loose sheets. Eight ironically captioned drawings by the versatile poet/artist/writer Eugene Walter, printed on 8-1/2" x 11" white card stock, covered with a larger, folded sheet of red paper. There are two copies of the cartoon "The Commitee meets to discuss the future of the Committee." No date or publisher is indicated, only the artist's handwritten copyright statement. The top-most sheet is very lightly soiled and rumpled at the upper right corner. The red portfolio cover is a bit sunned and worn. A piece of cardboard is inserted to protect the sheets from creasing. From the library of Walter's friend Ann Evans Berthoff.

Description:
Livingston University Press, 1994. Soft cover. Very Good/Good. 91 pages, with index of first lines. Poems are grouped into four sections: Contraband, Contradance, Contradiction, and Counterpoint. 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" in white card wraps with a few faint foxing-like marks on front cover, dust soil to top edge, practically no wear; DJ decorated with lizard wearing a spiffy metallic plume has small spots of soil, rubbing, and light shelf wear, with sunned spine. Inscribed to friends Ann and Warner Berthoff "with lizardy good wishes". Corrections on approximately a dozen pages and the rear DJ flap, evidently handwritten by the author (with Eugene, one wouldn't know that they weren't printed in "handwritten" style, but three quarters of the corrections are in the same ink as the inscription). From the library of Prof. Ann E. Berthoff.

Description:
Soft cover. Good. 12 pages including front and back, stapled in pamphlet form. Evidently a concert program: "Lyrics by Eugene Walter, Music by Donald Ashwander, Fred Baldwin, Alexis Biolley & Francis Imbragulio". Performer listed after each poem (song): Phyllis Demetropoulos - soprano, Greg Riley - tenor, Teri Ann Willams - soprano, Linda Evans - alto. Most of the authors and performers are from the Gulf Coast, which suggests that the undated concert program may have been for an event in Eugene Walter's home town, Mobile, Alabama. A few smudges to the covers, staples rusted. From the library of Walter's friend Ann Evans Berthoff.
