Berkeley. 1977. Cloud Marauder Press. 1st American Edition.1 of 750 copies. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. paperback. Cover: Mary Ann Hayden. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION - from a review in PoetryFlash - This well-designed book with drawings. integrated into the text is a fine collection of terse lyrics by the author of Puppet X and Clown Birth. The book is notable also for Ratch's ability to blend myths from Egyptian and ancient African sources in order to produce not a scholarly hodge-podge of erudition, but poetry which is unique and modern in its sensibility. Ratch can see his use of myth with humor, assuming the persona of a tomb-robber: They were looking for tomb-robbers/ & I was one. ' The theme of the book is basically that of death and rebirth, and for this the mythical back-drop of Egypt, with its fertility god Osiris (also associated with creativity) is particularly appropriate. The final poems in the text suggest the death of the physical Egyptian empire, and the permanence of the creative spirit.' inventory #32157 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.…
