About this Item

The only printing of Andrew Wylie's poetry collection issued on Richard Hell's Dot Books following a co-editing stint on six issues of the art and poetry journal Genesis Grasp, 1968-1971. Hell befriended Wylie at cinemabilia in the early 1970s, attracted to his sense of humor, and also to his sister. Wylie left his erotic writing in the dust years later when he formed his own literary agency, later saying of Yellow Flowers, 'I guess I wasn't destined to be a poet.' With blank DOT Books Review Copy slip laid in. This copy inserted into folded, partial manila envelope with stationery sticker labels addressed to 'Richard Meyers [Hell], Editor c/o Genesis Grasp [.]. One of fifty signed and numbered by Andrew Wylie to limitation page. Lightly rubbed and edge worn; about Near Fine Signature-bound in glossy pictorial wraps. 35pp.
