Clean Asshole Poems & Smiling Vegetable Songs.

City Lights Books, 1978. Item #3706

Perfect-bound in wrappers. Photographs by Mellon Tytel, Harold Chapman, and Rachel Homer. Note on back cover by Allen Ginsberg. The first collection of poems by Orlovsky, published as Pocket Poets Series, no. 37. This copy is from the library of the poet Dick Gallup, and is richly inscribed: "Let's get together w/ guitars & see what sprouts! more food value in RAW vegetables. Love & fresh apple juice to you," along with illustrations of a beet and an onion.

Very good minus, with a heavy scuffing and wear to the front cover, some toning to the back cover, and a clean interior.
