I Should Run for Cover but I’m Right Here.
Angel Hair Books, 1978. Item #808
Side-stapled wrappers. Covers by Rudy Burckhardt. This is from an edition of 400 copies. Schiff remembers: "I Should Run for Cover but I'm Right Here was written one late night, all night sitting the in the downstairs living room of Fairfield Porter's house in Southampton in the fall of 1971 I believe, while Ted Berrigan and Alice Notley slept upstairs. … Since 1960, when I had simultaneously discovered beatniks, writing poetry and the companionship of other ecstasy-seeking artists, I had hoped to write the novel that would express everything I had ever felt or longed for. I Should Run for Cover but I'm Right Here was my best start ever on that novel." (The Angel Hair Anthology, p. 601) Very near fine with a little darkening at the spine of rear cover and evidence of a shallow bend at the crown of spine. A clean sharp copy.
