Tonto Lavoris.
Adventures in Poetry, 1973. Item #863
Side-stapled wrappers. No cover attribution. As Clark Coolidge explains in an interview with Tom Orange, the book:
"was a collaboration with me and Larry Fagin. I think Larry started noticing two-word groups in my poems that sounded like names. Some were, but most of them weren't. And he started making up this list. I think 'Lavoris Tonto' was the original sequence, but we changed it to 'Tonto Lavoris.' That was a collaboration, but all the words come from my poems." (Jacket 2, no. 13. Apr. 2001; via Eclipse Archive)
Light shelf wear to covers and edges; near fine.
Price: $125.00
