About This Item
New York City, NY: Birth Press, 1962. Softcover octavo, saddle-stapled in illustrated cream paper wrappers with red and green lettering and decoration, partially paginated to pp. 20 [22]. Very good, lightly worn and rubbed along stapled spine and perimeter aspects of cover wrappers; slight discoloration/fading to cover wrappers and interior pages have small soiled spot from pp.17 to back cover wrapper near bottom at edge. Cover design by Tuli Kupferberg. The brain child of Sylvia Topp and Tuli Kupferberg's Birth Press, Yeah was the black humor and poetry journal ("a satyric excursion / A special Xmas Number dedicated to Messrs. K&K, mass murderers, who by the infinite crimes they daily commit, sanction or prepare for, save us poor masslings...") from 1961-1965, and one of many seeds in the formation of The Fugs in 1964.
This is the fifth issue with poetry Clement C. Toorely, Roberta Carter, Jake Trussell, Robert Anton Wilson, Sam Morland; a short 3-act play "Waiting for the End of Baldy's Game An Anti-Anti Play" by Becky Doormatt Unestco translated by Paul T. Nolan; and brimming with drawings, comix and collage work by the editor.
Please note that Yeah would often come with additional promotional materials and tipped-in printed matter---all materials present are described and in very good condition; and, this issue is sold as-is.
Kill for peace.
