Published in 1965 by Literary Times/Cyfoeth Publications, Chicago, Cold Dogs in the Courtyard is considered to be Bukowski’s 10th book. It was published by Ron Offen and Jay Robert Nash.
This copy was sent to Marvin Malone by Nash and comes with the original envelope and a signed note from Nash. In the note, Nash asks for a blurb about the book in an upcoming issue of Wormwood and says that he will pay his advertising bill soon. This copy comes with Wormwood 20 where the blurb appeared.
The book, letter and copy of Wormwood 20 are in Fine condition.
Ron Offen co-edited Odyssey magazine, which featured Bukowski in Vol. 11, No. 1, in 1959. He was also a co-editor of Midwest magazine, which featured Bukowski in four issues between 1961 and 1964.
Jay Robert Nash published the Literary Times in Chicago, which started publishing Bukowski’s work in 1963.
This is the only book in which Bukowski chose his own poems. Although they were all published in magazines prior to the book, in his intro Bukowski claims the poems were all rejected prior to being published – hence the name, “Cold Dogs in the Courtyard.” He actually goes on to list the editors who rejected them – all publishers of his previous books. But as Bukowski scholar Abel Debritto points out in his book “King of the Underground”, Bukowski’s claim wasn’t based in reality.
This copy is in Fine condition.
