Nice, no. 1.
N.d. Item #3883
Side-stapled mimeo. A one-shot magazine by Clark, dated "no copyright no nothin." Cover by Joe Brainard.
Though styled as a "one-shot," Nice, along with Ice, was part of a series of magazines published by Clark during his time as editor at the Paris Review. As Clark recalls in Jacket2:
"The magazines had deliberately uncataloguable titles: Once, Twice, Thrice, Thrice and 1/2, Frice, Vice, Spice, Slice, Ice, Nice, Dice, and Lice. I filled up the mimeo series with the spillover of poems I was receiving for the Paris Review—which could handle only a fraction of the good new work that was coming in to me—as well as with some ‘assignments’ from friends far and near..."
Contributors include Joe Brainard, Charles Goldman, John Perreault, Aram Saroyan (whose copyright dates his work to 1966), Richard Brautigan, Tom Clark, Lee Harwood, Clark Coolidge, Harry Fainlight, Frank O'Hara, Dick Gallup, Ted Berrigan, and Peter Schjeldahl. Schjeldahl has used black pen to amend one of his own poems and blue pen to create an erasure work, "SIX PHOTOGRAPHS OF TOM CLARK'S," out of Clark's poem "HITCHING."
Very good with crease to front cover and toning/staining along the edges.
