Original price of "10s 6d" on the front flap. Ownership signature and date on the FFEP. From the personal collection of author Don Lehmkuhl. Light sunning to edges. DJ a bit chipped at edges and spine. Donald Lehmkuhl, author of The Woman in the Moon (Doubleday, 1986), The Flights of Icarus, Mantua and others was a graduate of Columbia University. He travelled extensively and resided in Cambridge, Paris, London and New York in the 1950's and 60's. His poetry appeared in The Transatlantic Review, The Columbia Review, Best Poems of 1956, The Partisan Review and The Second Coming among others. His short stories appeared in MALE magazine and The Columbia University Forum among others. Lehmkuhl is well-known for having written the text for tour programs for the band "YES" as a band biographer of sorts. Having secured a portion of his book and manuscript collection, I can tell you that his interest in both drugs and poetry were vastly represented.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First Edition, First Printing. A Near Fine to Fine copy of the first edition, first printing with some pushing to the spine ends and a small nudge to the rear board's lower leading corner (which remains rather sharp), showing slight spotting to the closed page block's top edge. The book feels like it has not been read and is and without pen, pencil, marker, or other foreign markings, within. The volume wears a Very Good dust jacket showing some general wear and tear. The text contains work by many authors selected from submissions made by small book presses and many magazines to the Pushcart judges. More officially stated: "The Pushcart Prize is an American literary prize published by Pushcart Press that honors the best "poetry, short fiction, essays or literary whatnot" published in the small presses over the previous year. Magazine and small book press editors are invited to submit up to six works they have featured." Anthologies of works selected from the submissions made have been published since 1976 when it was founded by Henderson and a group of Founding Editors that included Paul Bowles, Ralph Ellison, Joyce Carol Oates and Reynolds Price, to recognize and celebrate the best work in the rapidly expanding independent publishing movement. A Nice Copy and surprisingly uncommon to the market.
