About this Item

First edition of Up to Us Chickens by Emilie Glen, published by The Poet's Press, New York, in 1972. A distinctive small-press chapbook by the New York poet, playwright, and performer whose vivid urban imagery and wry humor made her a key voice in the downtown poetry scene of the 1960s-70s. Printed with blue lithographic artwork on the cover and frontispiece, Glen's collection blends domestic surrealism with gritty lyricism, often centering on animals and everyday resilience. Distributed directly from the author's Lower East Side address at 77 Columbia Street.
