The Sonnets.
Author: BERRIGAN, Ted. Publisher: New York: Lorenz & Ellen Gude, 1964. First edition. Stapled 4to. mimeo. Cover by Joe Brainard. Very good plus to near fine with a bit of the usual toning, mild edgewear. Else a very sound and clean copy of this scarce edition. Binding: Wraps. Condition: Very Good. Edited by Ron Padgett (who also typed the stencils), this remains the definitive statement of the Second Generation of the New York School as well as Berrigan's most influential, popular, and lasting work, a measure of which can be seen in the fact that it is the only major American collection of the last fifty years to go through four separate editions, each at different publishers. Poet Charles Bernstein has described The Sonnets as "Part collage, part process writing, part sprung lyric [..] one of the freshest and most buoyantly inspired works of contemporary poetry. Reinventing verse for its time, The Sonnets are redolent with possibilities for our own." From an edition of "300 plus an unspecified number of unnumbered copies" (Fischer p. 24), this is from the unnumbered series, estimated (by Berrigan himself; again see Fischer) to be about 100. Quantity available: 1. Price: US$950.00 |
