Mind Breaths: Poems 1972–1977.
City Lights Books, 1977. Item #4125
Perfect bound in wrappers, 123 pp. First printing issued simultaneously with the clothbound edition. Published as number 35 in the City Lights' Pocket Poets Series.
This copy from the library of Ed Foster, poet and publisher of Talisman House, Publishers. Inscribed to Foster on the inside of the cover and f.f.e. in February 1984, with "thanks thrice for his hospitality in Hoboken," likely in reference to Foster's work inviting poets (including Ginsberg, Anne Waldman, Amiri Baraka, and many others) to read at Stevens Institute of Technology, where Foster was a professor.
Good plus, with toning, chipping, and shelf wear on the covers, along with a 1 in. stain on the front cover. Interior remains clean and crisp. A nice association copy.
