Softcover. Condition: Near fine. First edition. A paperback original, inscribed to Diane di Prima on the title page; "For Diane, 'the tribe is loyal.' Love, close to your birthday, Anne Waldman." A great association between important women poets in the predominately "boy's world" of the Beats. Waldman was part of the "Second Generation" of the New York School and became deeply connected with poets like Allen Ginsberg (who once described Waldman as his "spiritual wife"); she went on to help found the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder, where di Prima and Ginsberg both taught. Di Prima was among the Beats from the start and edited the influential Floating Bear newsletter with her then-husband LeRoi Jones, who later took the name Amiri Baraka. She was eventually honored as the poet laureate of San Francisco in 2009. Kill or Cure includes both prose and poetry from Waldman, including "credos, manifestos, dreams, homages to literary predecessor." A very near fine paperback with just a bit of lift or flare to corners.
