Hearse 10 -- First Appearance of The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills (1969)

Published in 1969, Hearse 10 features the first appearance of the legendary Bukowski long-poem, The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills.

E.V. Griffith published Bukowski’s first book (Flower, Fist and Bestial Wail) in 1960 and his first stand-alone poem/broadside, His Wife, The Painter.

Bukowski also appeared in several early issues of Hearst, beginning in 1958. The magazine went on hiatus for a few years until Griffith came across a Bukowski poem submitted years before, which inspired him to start publishing Hearse again.

That poem was the legendary The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills.

Black Sparrow Press published its second collection of Bukowski poems later that year, with the title The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills.

This poem would later appear in the literary journal Reader (Vol. 2 - No. 8) in December 1979.

A Near Fine copy with oxidized staples.

Overall, a very nice copy of this important journal out of Eureka, California.
