About this Item

First edition, 8vo, pp. [8], 72; fine copy in a fine, unclipped dustjacket. From the library of Kim Merker. This copy with an order form and a letter from the publicity manager at Ecco Press to Kim Merker laid in, with a request to have Milosz's poem "The Thistle, The Nettle" published as a broadside. "We intend to give these away at A.B.A. to representatives of the finest independent bookstores across the country . Prairie Lights there in Iowa City, The Hungry Mind in St. Paul . I hope the project appeals to you." Apparently, Merker was not interested. No record of such a Merker-printed broadside exists. The project was taken up by the Okeanos Press in Oakland and published the following year.
