Add to basketStated First Edition. Clean & tight copy, unread in Near Fine condition. "Founder of New Directions, as well as an essayist and poet, Laughlin here offers intimate reminiscences of modern experimenters. A visit to a trappist monastery in Kentucky to see 'a bubbling extrovert' and jazz enthusiast sets the tone for a long piece on Thomas Merton and his poetry in the opening chapter. Some of Gertrude Stein's foibles are seen up close from the young Laughlin's vantage point as personal secretary. Other pieces on William Carlos Williams, Kenneth Patchen, Pound & Michaux mix with the best of Laughlin's literary memoirs, painting a fascinating portrait of Laughlin and his contemporaries." A nice copy w/a slightly worn dust jacket in archival mylar cover, all presentably pristine & giftable.
