Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Kindness can be an underestimated virtue in our increasingly hectic and impersonal world. It is a word that we use most often in our conversations with young children when we tell them to be kind to a fellow creature or a new friend. These generous poems remind us that kindness can take many forms and that a kind gesture doesn't have to be either time-consuming or complicated. On the contrary: "Sometimes a sober voice is enough to calm the waters & drive away the false witnesses," - from 'Kindness' by Yusef Komunyakaa Edited by Jackie Kay and containing two new poems she has written specially for the anthology, this moving selection is allied to a compelling cause. 'Felix's Campaign of Kindness' was instigated by the mother of Felix Alexander, a 17-year-old boy who took his own life after years of online bullying. The pamphlet is dedicated to the memory of Felix and contains the inspirational open letter written by his mother after his death. Jackie Kay is one of the foremost poets writing in Britain today. She has published numerous poetry collections and a memoir, Red Dust Road, about her quest to find her birth parents. She was the third modern Makar, the Scottish Poet Laureate. Poems by Fleur Adcock, Gwendolyn Brooks, Ian Duhig, Sarah Howe, Jackie Kay, Yusef Komunyakaa, Norman MacCaig, Sylvia Plath, Rabindranath Tagore and Kate Tempest. Supplied with envelope and bookmark. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

First Edition
First edition, first printing. From the library of the English writer, Richard Church. Tipped in are two letters addressed to Church, the first from Leonard Elmhirst, the other from John Murray requesting a review of the book. Original orange cloth, lettered in gilt to the spine, with Tagore's signature stamped in gilt to the front panel. Lacking the dustwrapper, although the front and rear panels of the wrapper have been pasted in to the rear endpaper and pastedown. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with some scattered light foxing to fore- and lower edges, prelims and final pages, and a previous owner's bookplates to the verso of the front endpaper. The spine is faded and a little bumped to tips. Leonard Knight Elmhirst (1893-1974) was a British philanthropist and the founder, along with his wife Dorothy, of the Dartington Hall project in progressive education. Elmhirst first met Rabindranath Tagore (poet, philosopher, social reformer, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature) in America, following him to India in 1921 where he became Tagore's friend and secretary, the pair travelling extensively together. Tagore was influential in Elmhirst's foundation of the Dartington project. Pasted to the front pastedown of this copy is a letter, dated 4th May, 1961 and signed by hand, from John Murray (it is typed on the Albemarle Street publisher's headed paper) addressed to Richard Church, asking if he would like to review the volume. Another letter, pasted to the front endpaper, is from Elmhirst to Church, typed on Dartington Hall headed paper, and dated May 31st. The letter thanks Church for his letter of May 30th and his comments on the book (we cannot find any evidence of a review). Following further comments on Tagore, he informs Church that his wife had given him one of Church's books ('Over the Bridge'), which he warmly praises. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Published by [Wallace Berman], [Los Angeles], 1957
Seller: Downtown Brown Books, Portland, OR, U.S.A.
First Edition Signed
Pamphlet. Condition: Fine. First Edition. The uncommon second issue of Wallace Berman's influential underground periodical. "Berman's hand-printed, personally distributed literary journal, Semina, stands as an iconic document of its time. An eccentric and lyrical primer of the early counterculture, assembled against the grain of conformist Eisenhower-era America, it circumscribes a world of self-exploration, cultural alienation, esthetic indulgence, communal comforts, and spiritual transcendence"-Michael Duncan, Semina Culture, p. 9. Most of the pieces in this issue are printed letterpress, "handset with miscellaneous available type & papers." The illustrations are mostly halftones, probably printed using offset lithography. The contributors include Charles Bukowski ("Mine"), Herman Hesse, Paul Eluard, Jean Cocteau, Michael (as Mike) McClure, Zack Walsh, J.B. May, Charles Baudelaire, Lynn Trocchi, and Pantale Xantos (a pseudonym of Berman). The images include two reproductions of photographs by Berman of Robert Alexander shooting heroin, manipulated photographs by Lewis Carroll, and Walter Hopps' image of a dead shark. The cover is a portrait of Suzi Hicks by Charles Brittin. Berman completed nine issues of Semina; all of which are uncommon, with print runs in the low hundreds of copies and mostly distributed by mail to contributors and friends. This second issue was the last produced in Los Angeles (see Semina Culture, p. 52), but many copies may have been distributed from San Francisco, where Berman moved in December 1957 after he was convicted on obscenity charges for displaying a pornographic image at an LA art show earlier in the year. This change of location seems to have resulted in two states of Semina Two, one with a notice that Berman will continue working "from locations other than this city of degenerate angels" and one without the notice. The priority is uncertain. [14] unprinted leaves with mounted poems and images, plus cardstock covers. A very nice copy, one of the nicest I've seen, without the usual stains and wear. This is the variant without the "degenerate angels" notice on the back cover. Copies of Semina Two vary somewhat in the order and exact contents of the periodical. A study of these variants would show if Berman prepared the sheets and then bound the book or if he pasted the text and images into staple-bound blank books. This copy collates with contributors in the following order: Cover photo of Suzi Hicks; blank inside front cover with handwritten letter "R" at upper left (usually seen blank); Hermann Hesse; Paul Eluard; Jack Anderson; Mike [Michael] McClure; Jean Cocteau; Zack Walsh; Eric Cashen; Pantale Xantos [a.k.a.Wallace Berman]; [Wallace Berman photos (2)]; J. B. May; Charles Baudelaire translated by Hyman Lopez; Lynn Trocchi; Idell T. Romero; Charles Bukowski; Peder Carr; W. Hopps (photo); Alexander Trocchi; Judson Crews; John Reed; Marion Grogan; Paul Valery translated by R. Rand; Lewis Carroll [manipulated photographs (2)]; David Meltzer; John Altoon [fold-out reproduction of drawing signed J. Altoon in red ink in on the verso (sometimes signed in pencil)]; Marcia Jacobs [a.k.a. Berman]; Cameron; Rabindranath Tagore; Wallace Berman; cover credit handwritten in red ink; "handset." notice in type (inside back cover order also seen reversed; cover credit sometimes seen set in type); back cover blank (sometimes seen with "degenerate angels" text).
