Title: Prose Contribution to Cuban Revolution
Publisher: Artist's Workshop Press, Detroit
Publication Date: 1966
Binding: Softcover
Condition: Fine
Seller: Boojum and Snark Books, Kanab, UT, U.S.A.
First separate edition (first published in Pa'lante magazine). Printed/illustrated/stapled wraps, 8 5/8 x 7 inches, unpaginated. Very good (moderate uniform browning of pages due to the inherent quality of paper used, not brittle; originally folded/stapled a little obliquely/off-center; small chip, 1/8 inch, bottom edge of title page near right corner). From the rear cover: "Prose Contribution to Cuban Revolution is an important statement on consciousness-expansion by the major American poet Allen Ginsberg. Originally written in 1961 from Greece, the essay first appeared in the 1st (and only) issue of PA'LANTE magazine, published in 1962 and long out of print. This Artists' Workshop Press reprint makes the statement available to the poet's 1966 audience, at a time when there is much need for direction and guidance. The world is a far different place now, but Ginsberg's account of his own struggle against the prison of western ego-consciousness has a highly useful relevance to young people today." (3214035).
