	BERRIGAN, TED. BASHO: from the Records of a Weather-exposed Skeleton (1684) . Chicago-NY: np, 1977. First edition. 10pp. 4to. side-stapled typescript with Berrigan's holograph cover glued at stapled edge.Light soil to wraps. Mild wear to edges. Near fine. With numerous corrections and edits in Berrigan's hand. Wraps. Near Fine. Berrigan made at least several of these one-off booklets of his translations of Basho for friends. Like those, this one has a hand-drawn cover (though it does not include illustrations by Alice Notley, as some have). This copy also includes many holograph corrections and revision to the typescript. Nearly every poem (twenty-one of twenty-three) contains revisions by Berrigan, from simple excisions to complete re-writes. Berrigan's translations of Basho have been published only once: in Larry Fagin's Adventures in Poetry #7 (June 1979). The typescript portion of the item here offered follows that appearance nearly word-for-word. In fact, an early holograph note reads "Omit all changes," suggesting this may have been the source for that appearance. Berrigan dates his revisions to 1975 (see below). The poet's cover, however (left), lists the dates as 1972-77. It is likely, not wanting to re-type the poems, Berrigan added the cover to an already-existing typescript in 1977, but that the bulk of the item originates from 1972-75; in fact, cover and "Omit all changes" note are in a different pen than the remainder of the typescript, further suggesting their later addition. A sadly under-published portion of Berrigan's verse and a glimpse into the poet's methods of composition.

Berrigan's most lasting work, one of growing influence, and the only major American collection of the last fifty years to go through four separate editions, each at different publishers.

	CLARK, TOM AND RON PADGETT [TED BERRIGAN]. BUN [Two copies, both inscribed by the authors to Ted Berrigan]. New York: Angel Hair Books, (1968). First edition. Folio. Original pictorial wraps.

Limited edition, one (okay, two) of 500 copies printed, both humorously inscribed and SIGNED by authors to fellow poet Ted Berrigan. Paperback. Near Fine in Wraps. A remarkable pair: both authorial and bibliographic. Clark and Padgett have inscribed both copies to their close friend and fellow New York School poet Ted Berrigan. In one copy, Clark signs twice below two old NYC addresses of Berrigan, which he then crosses out. Padgett meanwhile draws a picture of a jar of deli mustard and a hamburger (with an arrow from the title BUN), changes his own printed name to read "Don Hall" (the poet), adds a faux Allen Ginsberg signature (not bad, either), a quote in French and a few other assorted minor and clever changes. In the second copu. Clark has inscribed the copy to Ted and includes a penciled portrait of Berrigan on a later page with a word balloon drawn around several lines of text attributed to Berrigan. Padgett then adds "Furtive homage to Ted" to the title page, as well as "Translated by Michael Hamberger" among a few other visual and linguistic puns. A remarkably warm and close association, one which perfectly captures the humor, playfulness, and joie de vive of the New York School.

	CLARK, TOM AND RON PADGETT [TED BERRIGAN]. BUN [Two copies, both inscribed by the authors to Ted Berrigan]. New York: Angel Hair Books, (1968). First edition. Folio. Original pictorial wraps. Both copies near fine with minor rubbing, edgewear. One copy has a couple of mildly bumped corners. Else clean, bright and sound throughout. Cover art by Jim Dine. Limited edition, one (okay, two) of 500 copies printed, both humorously inscribed and SIGNED by authors to fellow poet Ted Berrigan. Paperback. Near Fine in Wraps. A remarkable pair: both authorial and bibliographic. Clark and Padgett have inscribed both copies to their close friend and fellow New York School poet Ted Berrigan. In one copy, Clark signs twice below two old NYC addresses of Berrigan, which he then crosses out. Padgett meanwhile draws a picture of a jar of deli mustard and a hamburger (with an arrow from the title BUN), changes his own printed name to read "Don Hall" (the poet), adds a faux Allen Ginsberg signature (not bad, either), a quote in French and a few other assorted minor and clever changes. In the second copu. Clark has inscribed the copy to Ted and includes a penciled portrait of Berrigan on a later page with a word balloon drawn around several lines of text attributed to Berrigan. Padgett then adds "Furtive homage to Ted" to the title page, as well as "Translated by Michael Hamberger" among a few other visual and linguistic puns. A remarkably warm and close association, one which perfectly captures the humor, playfulness, and joie de vive of the New York School.
