Item description from seller

Paradise, California: Dustbooks, 1974., 1974. Very good. - Quarto, 10-7/8 inches high by 8-1/4 inches wide. Softcover, bound in stapled white wraps, titled with an illustration in black & white on the front cover. The covers are slightly soiled and bumped with a mailing label affixed to the rear cover. 28 pages of essays on Walter Lowenfels, including several of Lowenfels' poems, with black & white textual illustrations. The corners are lightly bumped. Very good. The contributions celebrating Walter Lowenfels include "Not for the Proud Man Apart" by Roger W. Gaess, "The Revolution is to be Human" by William Wantling, a letter by Ishmael Reed, "A Very Vital Man" by Kenneth Rexroth, "Walter Lowenfels' Poetic Politics" by Allen Guttmann, "For Ludwig Wittgentesin", "For a Hemiplegic" "Excerpt from The Revolution is to be Human", and "The Last Echo" by Walter Lowenfels, "Walter" by Nancy Willard, "Reviews of Found Poems & Others and The Revolution is to be Human" by Douglas Blazek, "The essential Walter" by Jack Lindsay, "Lowenfels' Elegy for D.H. Lawrence" by Jack Lindeman, "The Anthological Self" and interview, "The Diamond Alphabet" by Dick Lourie, and "A Lowenfels Bibliography" by Kirby Congdon & Roger Gaess. One of the highlights is Pete Seeger's letter to Roger Gaess, "I first met Walter when I was 21 years old and he was about 40. Now I am about 55 and he is in his 70's. Yet I do believe he's one of the youngest people with one of the nimblest minds that I know at present. I can hardly bear to be with him too much, it's so exciting." with the lyrics to the song which Lowenfels composed with Lee Hays "Wasn't That A Time", "Our fathers bled at Valley Forge, / The snow was red with blood, / Their faith was warm at Valley Forge, / Their faith was brotherhood. / Wasnt' that a time / Wasn't that a time / Wasn't that a time / To try men's souls / Wasn't that a terrible time.".…
