About this Item

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the front wrapper verso: "Brent - Hopkins indeed! I'm reading Rossetti. I think the love poems mean a lot to me now in this book, also the 'Anarchists' maybe. A excellent typing job! (Thank you / Jim)". The recipient was Brent Garren, who typed and printed the poems with the help of his girlfriend, Janet, while at high school with Carroll. Garren appears in Carroll's memoir The Basketball Diaries (1978) as Bunty Gargen, a "die-hard Marxist" who talked Carroll "into going to one of his Communist Party meetings", which provoked the punk poet's scorn: "Everyone moans a lot and plays folk songs, one of the requirements seems to be that you have to be ugly. I was wearing my seediest clothes and I still came off looking like Arnold Palmer or something". Octavo, pp. 16. Original wrappers printed in black. A little creased, wrappers slightly toned, small marks to contents. A very good copy. Seller Inventory # 174232
