Self-Destruction

Ariel would later appear in Mockingbird Wish Me Luck (1972) and On Getting Famous And Being Asked: Can You Recite? Can You Be There At Nine? And Self-Destruction would appear in The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills (1969).

Copy also includes an interesting Bukowski biography in the Contributors Notes.

Contributors include Charles Bukowski, George Hitchcock, Lewis Warsh, Hayden Carruth, Kathleen Fraser, Robert Bly, Larry Eigner, Terry Stokes, Rochelle Owens, Keith Wilson, Greg Kuzma, Barriss Mills, Nancy Willard, et al.

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 Hears, 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.

A Very Good + copy with some light stains on the front cover, and light sunning and creases to the front and back covers. Staples are oxidized. Binding is solid and interior pages are white and clean.

Overall, a solid copy by an important early supporter of Bukowski’s work.
