This copy from the library of Ed Foster, poet and publisher of Talisman House, Publishers. Vibrantly inscribed to Foster on the title page in February 1984 on the occasion of Ginsberg reading at Stevens Institute of Technology, where Foster's was a professor and held a long-standing reading series inviting poets (including Ginsberg, Anne Waldman, Amiri Baraka, and many others) to Hoboken. Foster has lightly annotated the table of contents in red marker, though the remainder of the text is unmarked.
Very good, with shelf wear, chipping, and 1/2 in. pen mark along the edge of the text block.
