Condition: Very good minus. Very slim quarto [28 cm] Self wraps with side-stapled binding. Cover drawing by Madeline Landau. Some toning and soiling to wraps; moisture ring stain to bottom edge of front wrap. Handwritten invoice from "The Bookshop" / Erik Kiviat tucked in. The fourth issue in a series of just six mimeograph publications by Erik Kiviat. The series was produced out of Staatsburg, New York, which is close to Bard College, where Kiviat was an undergraduate. Jed Birmingham, in his article "Collecting Rare Books and First Editions- Erik Kiviat, William Wantling and the Ecosystem of the Mimeo Revolution," refers to the first issue of "Head" as a bare bones mimeo. In addition, Birmingham goes on to mention that after Kiviat graduated from Bard, he received his MA from SUNY New Paltz, and his Ph.D at Union Institute, ultimately focusing on Environmental and Urban Studies, and going on to found Hudsonia, Ltd., a non-profit which protects the ecology of the Hudson Valley. One finds more of Kiviat's scholarly publications listed on OCLC than his mimeo publications. Jed Birmingham closes his article with the following statement: "Kiviat would know better than anybody that the Mimeo Revolution was a literary ecosystem sustained by independent bookstores, the postal system, cheap and available technology and a population of ambitious and frustrated writers. I would bet that Kiviat's foray into mimeo publication fed right into his interest in urban studies." (Jed Birmingham's article was published in 2014 and posted on the Mimeo Mimeo website, as well as being featured on the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers website).

Underground gay fiction, of the type passed hand-to-hand or otherwise clandestinely distributed. Tom Norman, in his introduction to American Gay Erotic Paperbacks: A Bibliography, notes that "the earliest erotic literature aimed primarily at the gay male, usually quite amateurish, was mostly in typewritten or mimeographed form, and passed surreptitiously from person to person. Producers of the stories faced imprisonment and harrassment if they were caught. Rarely were the stories more than a few pages long, but even if they were of greater length, they were almost never printed and bound." Synopsis: Dudley Burrows takes Barry to a sex show, which they become part of.
