About This Item
[Berkeley, CA]: Tangram, 1993. First Edition. Warm association copy, inscribed to McClure's long-time friend and Oyez Press publisher Robert Hawley, who designed the chapbook for McClure's long poetic manifesto Poisoned Wheat (1965).

Encyclopedia of Beat Literature, p.263). One of 190 copies. Slim octavo (25.5cm); unprinted string-tied wrappers; hand-made paper dustjacket, with title label mounted to front cover; [24]pp, with illustrated frontispiece by Amy Evans. Inscribed on the first blank page: "For Robert Hawley / Blue Velvet Eternities & Poisoned Wheat & many thanks / Michael." Fine in a Fine dustjacket.
