About this Item

Limited SIGNED edition. #19 of 217 copies. 36pp, (5.5 x 8.5 inches). Very Good conditon in light blue stapled wrappers (soft cover). Covers are sunned (faded), show the lightest of wear, just a little "handled" looking. No tears or creases anywhere, no bumps, no markings to text. Inside the front cover is printed in black ink "For David Banks, In Heaven Also." I can't tell whether this inscription is written by Propper since it is plain bold printing, not in cursive writing. On the first page which serves as the limitation page (or colophon), there is the numbering statement and Propper's signature in bold red ink (a marking pen). The whole booklet looks home-made, perhaps created at a copy service. The poems are in different typefaces and sizes. Not a stylistic device, but just the way they looked in his files I think. The limitation page states: "as originally conceived, my third book of poetry 'For Kerouac in Heaven' consisted of fifty poems plus the title poem. This book exists only in manuscript at present, and has to date been rejected by seven university presses. This present, abbreviated version of the book is a limited edition of 217 copies, all of them numbered and signed." The entire statement is in caps, NOT handwritten, but part of the book. Photos available. Seller Inventory # 20417
