FUCK YOU: A Magazine of the Arts - Number 5, Volume 3 (May 1963)

by SANDERS, Ed (Editor)

  • Used
New York: Fuck You Press, 1963. 4to. Side-stapled mimeo wraps; with illustrations. Cover by Sanders. Contributions from Peter Orlovsky, Carol Berge, Joel Oppenheimer, Ray Bremser, Taylor Mead, Jackson MacLow and others. Near Fine. Sanders sent a copy of this issue to Allen Ginsberg in India, asking Ginsberg for poems to contribute to the next issue. There was a rumor about Ginsberg being depressed in India and he later stated that receiving FY inspired him and helped him out of his depression. [Sanders 38]. Ginsberg sent the poem, “The Change,” which he wrote while riding on the Kyoto-Tokyo express train in Japan. He broke down crying while writing that he was on a new path and “had returned to his body after the ecstatic years following the 1948 vision in which he had heard the ghostly voice of William Blake chanting in an apartment in Spanish Harlem. [Sanders 38]. Ginsberg was now determined to live in his body and settle into a “loving mammaldom” with mankind. Contributions from Peter Orlovsky, Carol Berge, Joel Oppenheimer, Ray Bremser, Taylor Mead, Jackson MacLow and others.

Description:
New York: Fuck You Press, 1965. First edition. Very good.. Scarce final issue (the fourteenth) of Sander's legendary and infamous mimeo, printed "At a Secret Location on the Lower East Side" - from the library of poet and publisher Kenward Elmslie. In January 1966, Sander's Peace Eye Bookstore was raided by police for distribution of obscene material and copies of FU (including this final issue) were confiscated. It seems reasonable to assume this issue's scarcity (and its terminality) are directly related to this incident. Contributors to this installment include Ted Berrigan, John Wieners, Al Fowler, Gilbert Sorrentino, Robert Kelly, and others - including Joe Brainard, whose longtime partner Kenward Elmslie's copy this is. Along with the debut and Mad Motherfucker (with its infamous Warhol cover, which undoubtedly contributed to the Peace Eye raid) issues, one of the most difficult numbers of FU to acquire. 11'' x 8.5''. Side-stapled pictorial wraps. Mimeographed throughout. Cover by Sanders.… Read More

Description:
(New York): Fuck You Press, 1962. First edition. All issues near fine or better.. Rare complete 13-issue run of Sanders's infamous little magazine of the mimeo revolution - in extraordinary condition. A difficult run to assemble under even the best of circumstances - the first issue was handed out for free on the streets of the Lower East Side, both the "Mad Motherfucker" and final issues were subject to confiscation during the Peace Eye raid that ultimately killed FU, and issue 5.1 remains almost inexplicably elusive - this set was put together by the original purchaser and literally pulled from a cabinet in the Village where it had been stored undisturbed for decades. As such, the condition of nearly every issue is practically as the day they were printed. In particular, the "Mad Motherfucker" issue, with its fragile thermofax cover by Andy Warhol, is stunningly well-preserved. Not only does the cover remain mounted to all staples, but it lacks any of the typical chipping or creasing. It is sharp… Read More
