Softcover. 4to. [28] pp. Side-stapled mimeograph sheets, printed on rectos only. Pages slightly misaligned, else fine. Berrigan's homage to Rimbaud, drawn by Brainard, one of their most successful marriages of text and poetry. According Adventures in Poetry Catalog 2 the edition comprises 500 copies in a trade edition and 26 copies lettered and signed by poet and artist. This is from the regular edition. 

Frank Bidart's signature of ownership to the inside front cover.From the collection of Frank Bidart, who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the Griffin Poetry Prize Lifetime Recognition Award, and the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry for his book Half-light: Collected Poems 1965-2016. Perhaps Bidart's most celebrated poem, "The Second Hour of the Night," is partly based on his relationship with Brainard. "The relationship was," as Bidart has said, both "more than friendship and less than a romance." His "In Memory of Joe Brainard" is a profound elegy for his friend who died of AIDS-induced pneumonia in 1994.
