SIGNED first edition - First printing in wrappers. No hardcover edition. 'The Occident' is the name of the literary journal published by the University of California since 1881 - although often sporadically. In the early years, it published such writers as Bret Harte and Jack London, and in the 70's and 80's, contributors included Allen Ginsburg, Gary Snyder, Joan Didion, Raymond Carver and many others. This issue both continues the tradition of publishing good and sometimes controversial writers and also looks at the 'shifting map' of the Occident and invited writers from outside the European-American perspective to contribute 'in any form.' The diverse voices found here include Kathy Acker, Ann Banfield, Omar Castaneda ,Jewell Gomez.Thom Gunn, Yusef Komunyaaka, Gordon Lish, Heather McHugh Bharati Mukherjee, Gloria Naylor, Ismael Reed, Alberto Rios, Peter Spagnuolo, Gerald Vizenor, John Yau and others. SIGNED by Jewelle Gomez at "Two Poems." Notes on contributors. 192 pp. We specialize in literary journals, and have many others - including many not yet catalogued and listed on line. Fine in stiff illustrated black wrappers. Seller Inventory # 60345

We also have a large selection of books signed by the author and uncorrected proof copies. Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles. We have been selling books by mail order and on the internet since 1993. We have a large booth dedicated to books (called Books Upstairs) at the Antiques Upstairs Mall, 5 Main Street, Jackson, CA. (open every day from 10-5) The emphasis there is on Western Americana, children�s books and inexpensive reading copies. In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek. There, on 10 acres of rolling oak-covered hills, we built a "bookhouse" for our books.
