"Born in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1935, Burt Gail Clays, grew up in the mind-expansive deserts and mountains of the Intermountain West as a dyslexic Mormon kid, who, despite his reading disorder, was compelled to tell—and write down—his stories. He changed his name, moved on to Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Bolinas, Santa Fe, Tucson, and places in between before roads led him back to Idaho and Salt Lake City again. Publishing a Sixties underground literary magazine called Wild Dog that the FBI took notice of, Sky tells a story of all that swirled around the magazine during an eruptive time in America. First published by the poet Ed Dorn in Pocatello in 1963, Sky moved Wild Dog to Salt Lake City and then to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbery district right at the moment of the counter-cultural revolution. In Wild Dog Days, Sky exuberantly chronicles the time, the place, and the peace movement with hallucinogenic clarity. Illustrated with photos of some of the poets who helped hand-crank the pulse of a small press movement, Wild Dog Days is dedicated to “every man, every woman, every kid, every dog who marched for peace and stopped the war. ” " (from Everybody Wiki); Trade PB; 284p. pages; Pictured 4/11/26.…
