It is a facsimile of the poem and artwork published in Evergreen Review, Vol. 14, No. 79 (1970). Unlike other poems in this bootleg series, no credit is given to Evergreen Review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe bootleg imprint is listed as “S Press Tonband Verlag\" out of Dusseldorf Germany. Not much is known about who was actually behind the series of Bukowski chapbooks bearing the imprint. According to Wikipedia “\u003ci\u003eS Press Tonbandverlag\u003c\/i\u003e was a publisher of experimental literature , Beat poetry , and concrete poetry.” But it seems unlikely the press itself was behind these chapbooks bearing the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe paper (Rives BFK?) used by the broadside is excellent, but the ink did not absorb perfectly. Other than the folds, it’s in Near Fine condition with a slightly off fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis copy is in Near Fine. Folded is measures approximately 8.5” x 5.5”. When opened it measures approximately 17” x 11”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn my years of collecting. I’ve only seen these chapbooks a handful of times over the years. A nice addition for a Bukowski completist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBox 20\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Buk Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47997315154085,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/9288\/1573\/files\/IMG_20260707_0042-Copy.jpg?v=1783623338","url":"https:\/\/thebukshop.com\/products\/soup-cosmos-and-tears-bootleg-broadside-w-charles-bukowski-poem","provider":"The Buk Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
