Martin hired Sanford Dorbin to select the poems that appeared in The Days Run Away, all of which previously appeared in small press publications from the late 1950s through the late 1960s. With the help of Bukowski, Dorbin played the pivotal role of tracking down these magazines and collecting the poems for publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen the Days Run Away was being finalized, Martin needed to reduce the number of pages to keep the costs in line with its selling price. There was disagreement between Dorbin and Martin on which poems to cut from the book, but in the end Fire Station and eight other poems were cut. These nine poems would go on to be published in Fire Station. \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thebukshop.com\/blogs\/news\/fire-station-a-trip-down-the-fire-pole-55-years-later\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn More\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe first edition of Fire Station was limited to 100 hardcover copies and 1,000 soft covers.
