d.a. levy’s poems and collages: Cleveland and Madison, 1962–8
Houston, TX: Quixote Press, 1980.
First printing. (75) pp., 8.5 x 10.75 inches. Perfect-bound in plain card covers. Edited and assembled by Melissa Bondy and Morris Edelson, and with an introduction by Edelson. Forty-five pages of text and thirty-two pages of illustrations; twenty-two color reproductions of full-page collages, and twenty-four quarter-page images of smaller collages and concrete poems, mostly in black-and-white (thus forty-six images in total). Pages very slightly age-toned but internally very good; corners mildly bumped and plain white card covers lightly soiled, with 1/8-inch closed tears at top and bottom of spine. Item #4171
An uncommon posthumous selection, with poems drawn from various levy publications. The color illustrations have the distinctive sheen and saturation of early color photocopies. Though found in a number of institutional collections, this gathering seems quite elusive in the trade.
