	FAAS, EKBERT / ROBERT CREELEY / ANN MACKINNON Robert Creeley - a Biography - Including Excerpts from the Memoirs and 1944 Diary of the Poet's First Wife, Ann Mackinnon Montreal / Toronto: McGill Queen's University Press, 2001. 2001 Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 x 9-1/2 " 0773521739 2001 Hardcover in DJ ... Brand new from the publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick mylar sleeve ... 513 pages ... illustrated with B&W photos ... Robert Creeley - One of the most revered voices of contemporary American poetry, Robert Creeley has attained legendary status based on his leading role in several avant-garde movements, such as Black Mountain, Tish, and the Beats ... Robert Creeley focuses on the first forty years of the poet's life - years of rebellion, restless travel, tumultuous liasons, and anger and violence that gave his writing an idiosyncratic new voice of razor-sharp precision and vehemence ... As a small press publisher and editor, he possessed an unfailing flair for recognizing talent, and promoted the likes of Layton, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Olson, and Burroughs ... Their stars rose while he scraped by, until his poetry collection For Love and a novel, The Island, earned him fame and a critical acclaim largely denied the Beats ... Since then his poetry has become increasingly autoibiographical and nostalgic, dwelling on the deliberately commonplace, decreptitude, and, finally death ... "Robert Creeley is a major contribution to the understanding of Creeley's writing, and to an understanding of the important scene of the New American Poetry, especially in the years of its founding ... Faas's biography of the man is brutally honest (as is Creeley in his own writing) in its portrait of a driven, often violent and alienated consciousness who just happened to turn his demons into some of the most powerful poetry of our time." - Douglas Barbour, Department of English, University of Alberta ...

Never opened, Never owned, Never marked, Jacket protected in New, clear mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 366 pages ... illustrated with B&W photographs ... Foreword by Anne Waldman, Afterword by Ann Charters ... American Book Award Winner 1997 ... The Beat Generation created an American revoultion in literature and culture that transformed the mid-twentieth century ... The Beats helped make literature a democracy ... All one needed, they believed, was passion and a love of the written word ... The names of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, and William Burroughs and their friends are well known to the reading public at large, and on its face the beat movement appears to have been an exclusively male phenomenon ... But the Beat Movement's publicity did not neccessarily reflect the reality of its literature and spirit ... This singular book is devoted to contributions of women to the body and spirit of the Beat revolution ... The women included in this anthology run the gamut from the famous - Carolyn Cassady and Jan Kerouac - to the relatively undiscovered - Mary Fabilli and Helen Adam ... The art, prose, and poetry selected represent the full range and development of their work ... The women whose work is featured in this anthology were talented rebels with enough courage and creative spirit to turn their backs on "the good life" that the fifties promised, journey to San Francisco and Greenwich Village, and dare to create lives of their own ... Today an unprecedented amount of brilliant, imaginative and highly experimental writing by women is being recognized and applauded ... This anthology looks back to the antecedents for this greater liberty of expression ... It is a testament to the lives of the women who helped shape the Beat era ... Together, their voices form an energetic force field of consciousness that manifested at a rich and difficult time in cultural history ... 'Women of the Beat Generation' profiles 40 women - Precursors, Muses, Writers, and Artists - including Elise Cowen, Diane di Prima, Hettie Jones, Joan Vollmer Burroughs, Jan Kerouac, Carolyn Cassady, Edie Parker Kerouac, Eileen Kaufman, Joyce Johnson, Denise Levertov, Brenda Frazer, Anne Waldman, Jay DeFeo, Joan Brown, and many others ... 'Women of the Beat Generation' highlights the lives and work of these female iconoclasts, and ensures the world will not forget their contribution to its transformation ... ' In the "Muses" section are short biographies of wives and girlfriends of famous male writers such as Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady. It's widely known that William S. Burroughs shot his wife Joan Vollmer Adams Burroughs; this book fills in other details of her wild and short life. Profiles of writers such as Joyce Johnson, Hettie Jones, Janna McClure, and Janine Pommy Vega account for the rest of the anthology. The lives these women led are as interesting as their writing ' ... " Women of the Beat Generation : ...

Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick Mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 156 pages ... These interviews with some of the most influential American and Russian writers of their generation ( Ginsberg, Voznesensky, Aksyonov, Snyder, Bitov, Akhmadulina, Okudzhava, McClure, Gladilin, & Ferlinghetti ) ... reveal the international nature of the Beat Generation and the Russian New Wave ... The Beats - Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, Lawrence Ferklinghetti, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure and many others - who were popularized and scandalized by the press, have provided inspiration for generations of young people since the sixties ... The international scope of the youth movements of the 1960s has long been recognized, but the Beat Generation had its counterpart not only in Britain's Angry Young Men, but also in the Russian New Wave ... Stalin's death in 1953 and Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" paved the way for the short period known as The Thaw ... The Russian New Wave embraced the West with a passion - jazz, blue jeans, Hemingway - and produced a literature that reflected this new love and freedom ... The popularity of Aksyonov and Gladilin (the leaders of the young prose movement) and Akhmadulina and Voznesensky ( who read their poetry to stadiums of frenzied fans ) cannot be exaggerated ..."The Beat Generation and the Russian New Wave" ... by Inger Thorup Lauridsen & Per Dalgard, published by Ardis, Michigan 1990 ...Hardcover in Dustjacket 1990 First *.

	MANN, RON Grass - the Paged Experience Toronto: Warwick Pub, 2001. 2001 Printing. Soft Cover. Photos. 8-3/4 x 9" 1894020960 Softcover 2001 Printing ... Brand new from publisher ... Gift Giving quality ... Never opened , Never owned , Never marked ... 149 pages ... illustrated with B&W and color photos throughout ... Banned for a brief period in advance of its release in Ontario, the film ' Grass ' by documentary film maker Ron Mann is as controversial as it is humorous ... In June of 2000 it was released to audiences across North America and met with rave reviews ( once its brief ban was lifted ) ... 'Grass,' both the book and the film that it is based on, traces the history of North America's prohibition of marijuana, and the seemingly absurd lengths that governments (particularly the federal government in the US) have gone to eradicate its sale and consumption - essential reading for anyone interested in the popular history of the world's oldest and most continually disobeyed prohibition ...

	MICHAELS, LISA Split - a Counterculture Childhood New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1998. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" 0395837391 1998 Hardcover in DJ 1st Edition ... BRAND NEW from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality .... Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick Mylar sleeve ... 307 pages ... In 'Split,' Lisa Michaels offers a strikingly textured portait of her days of communes and road trips, of antiwar protests and rallies - and of what came after, for her parents and for herself - as the radicalism of the 1960s and '70s gave way to conservative times ... As a young child, Lisa visited her father in prison, where he was serving a two-year sentence for his part in an antiwar protest ... In the early '70s, she toured the country with her mother and step-father in a customized mail truck, complete with Oriental rugs and a wood stove, until the family settled in a small northern California town ... Her father later moved to the Bay Area, where he worked in auto plants and served as a labour organizer ... By the age of eight Lisa was a veteran leaflet-folder, and she consecrated her father's second marriage in a Berkeley park by reading from Quotations from Chairman Mao ... Not surprisingly, Lisa grew up craving conformity - giving her mother makeovers and arranging their secondhand furniture in inspired ways - but she also came to share many of the values her parents held dear: independence, frankness, and unsparing self-examination ... In the buttoned-up world of UCLA during the Reagan years, she went through a hippie revival phase, wearing batik dresses and Chairman Mao pins, a throwback amid the campus's Greek revivalists and young Republicans ... Against that traditional backdrop, her parents' longtime activism took on new meaning, and at twenty-two, Michaels embarked on a trip through Asia, very much in the spirit of her upbringing ... Observant, liuminous, and wry, Split captures both the vulnerability and heady freedom of a counterculture childhood ... It s a powerful blend of social reflection and personal reminiscence, a memoir that paints a clear-eyed and unforgettable picture of the ways in which the legacy of the '60s played out in one remarkable family ...

Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... Hefty handsome book; over 2" thick, weighing more than 2 pounds ... Red metallic title impressed on slate grey boards, with color endpages ... 650 pages with index ... illustrated with 32 pages of glossy Color & B&W photographs ... Michael Palin has kept a diary since newly married in the late 1960s, when he was beginning to make a name for himself as a TV scriptwriter ( for The Two Ronnies, David Frost, etc. ) ... Monty Python was just around the corner ... This volume of his diaries reveal how Python emerged and triumphed, how he, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, the two Terrys - Jones and Gilliam - and Eric Idle came and changed the face of British comedy ... But this is only part of Palin's story ... Here is his growing family, his home in a north London Victorian terrace, which gorws as he buys the house next door and then a second at the bottom of the garden; here, too, is his solo effort - as an actor in Three Men in a Boat, his acting endeavours ( often in partnership with Terry Jones ) that produces Ripping Yarns and even a pantomime ... Meanwhile Monty Python refuses to go away: the hugely successful movies that follow the TV ( his account of the making of both The Holy Grail and the Life of Brian movies are page-turners ), the at times extraordinary goings on of the many powerful personalities who coalesced to form the Python team, the fight to prevent an American TV network from bleeping out the best jokes on U.S. transmission, and much more - all this makes for funny and riveting reading ... The birth and childhood of his three children, his father's growing disability, learning to cope as a young man with celebrity, his friendship with George Harrison, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also essential ingredients of these diaries ... A perceptive and funny chronicle, the diaries are a rich portrait of a fascinating period ...

	WOLF, LEONARD / DEBORAH WOLF , EDS. Voices from the Love Generation - Interviews with 15 Hippies - 1968 Boston: Little Brown & Co, 1968. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6-1/4 x 9-1/2 x 1 " 1968 First Edition HARDCOVER in DJ ... Book is in VG Condition with light fading starting top front board & previous owner's name written in ink inside flyleaf, otherwise no noticable flaws; Jacket is in G condition with numerous rips and tears but otherwise intact & Jacket is protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 283 pages with epilogue & glossary ... illustrated with 15 B&W photographs ... The Hippie phenomenon has piqued the curiosity and emotions of nearly the whole country - "straights" and wishful teeny-boppers, as well as parents suddenly thrust into the midst of such Hippie enclaves as New York's East Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury in a frantic search for a runaway child ... Drugs, sex, dirt and bizarre appearances are the Hippies' identifying trademarks as given us by the media in their strenuous and superficial coverage of the scene ... Americans have turned on to the Hippie argot and new idioms have entered the vernacular so rapidly that their origins are already obscured ...Graphic arts, music, fashion, advertising, even politics have pirated the Hippie style, if not content ... In short, our society, with its remarkable ability to absorb nearly every challenge made to it, has swallowed the Hippies whole without ever knowing what's happened ... Leonard Wolf, professor of English at San Francisco State College, has been involved with the Haight-Ashbury Hippie community for over a year as an observer and as director of Happening House, a communications center in the district ... Along with his admittedly straight sensibility, Mr. Wolf brought to his work in the community an open mind and a determination to understand the movement as it really is ... Voicces from the Love Generation is a collection of interviews with 15 Hippies, recorded and arranged by Mr. Wolf and his wife Deborah in 1968 ... The startling candor, the rough language, the frankness about sex and drugs, indeed, the mere effort at communication with the straight world that characterize these interviews, are a tribute to the trust and respect the Wolfs have earned from the Hippies ... This book is by the Hippies, not about them ... Their words are transcribed without alteration and they tell it as it really is ... Interviews with: Peter Mackaness ... Lenore Kandel ...

	FAAS, EKBERT / ROBERT CREELEY / ANN MACKINNON Robert Creeley - a Biography - Including Excerpts from the Memoirs and 1944 Diary of the Poet's First Wife, Ann Mackinnon Montreal / Toronto: McGill Queen's University Press, 2001. 2001 Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 x 9-1/2 " 0773521739 2001 Hardcover in DJ ... Brand new from the publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick mylar sleeve ... 513 pages ... illustrated with B&W photos ... Robert Creeley - One of the most revered voices of contemporary American poetry, Robert Creeley has attained legendary status based on his leading role in several avant-garde movements, such as Black Mountain, Tish, and the Beats ... Robert Creeley focuses on the first forty years of the poet's life - years of rebellion, restless travel, tumultuous liasons, and anger and violence that gave his writing an idiosyncratic new voice of razor-sharp precision and vehemence ... As a small press publisher and editor, he possessed an unfailing flair for recognizing talent, and promoted the likes of Layton, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Olson, and Burroughs ... Their stars rose while he scraped by, until his poetry collection For Love and a novel, The Island, earned him fame and a critical acclaim largely denied the Beats ... Since then his poetry has become increasingly autoibiographical and nostalgic, dwelling on the deliberately commonplace, decreptitude, and, finally death ... "Robert Creeley is a major contribution to the understanding of Creeley's writing, and to an understanding of the important scene of the New American Poetry, especially in the years of its founding ... Faas's biography of the man is brutally honest (as is Creeley in his own writing) in its portrait of a driven, often violent and alienated consciousness who just happened to turn his demons into some of the most powerful poetry of our time." - Douglas Barbour, Department of English, University of Alberta ...

Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 7-1/4 x 8-1/2 x 1-1/4 " 1567312969 2000 Hardcover in DJ ... BRAND NEW from publisher ... Last one ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked, Jacket protected in New, clear mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 366 pages ... illustrated with B&W photographs ... Foreword by Anne Waldman, Afterword by Ann Charters ... American Book Award Winner 1997 ... The Beat Generation created an American revoultion in literature and culture that transformed the mid-twentieth century ... The Beats helped make literature a democracy ... All one needed, they believed, was passion and a love of the written word ... The names of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, and William Burroughs and their friends are well known to the reading public at large, and on its face the beat movement appears to have been an exclusively male phenomenon ... But the Beat Movement's publicity did not neccessarily reflect the reality of its literature and spirit ... This singular book is devoted to contributions of women to the body and spirit of the Beat revolution ... The women included in this anthology run the gamut from the famous - Carolyn Cassady and Jan Kerouac - to the relatively undiscovered - Mary Fabilli and Helen Adam ... The art, prose, and poetry selected represent the full range and development of their work ... The women whose work is featured in this anthology were talented rebels with enough courage and creative spirit to turn their backs on "the good life" that the fifties promised, journey to San Francisco and Greenwich Village, and dare to create lives of their own ... Today an unprecedented amount of brilliant, imaginative and highly experimental writing by women is being recognized and applauded ... This anthology looks back to the antecedents for this greater liberty of expression ... It is a testament to the lives of the women who helped shape the Beat era ... Together, their voices form an energetic force field of consciousness that manifested at a rich and difficult time in cultural history ... 'Women of the Beat Generation' profiles 40 women - Precursors, Muses, Writers, and Artists - including Elise Cowen, Diane di Prima, Hettie Jones, Joan Vollmer Burroughs, Jan Kerouac, Carolyn Cassady, Edie Parker Kerouac, Eileen Kaufman, Joyce Johnson, Denise Levertov, Brenda Frazer, Anne Waldman, Jay DeFeo, Joan Brown, and many others ... 'Women of the Beat Generation' highlights the lives and work of these female iconoclasts, and ensures the world will not forget their contribution to its transformation ... ' In the "Muses" section are short biographies of wives and girlfriends of famous male writers such as Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady. It's widely known that William S. Burroughs shot his wife Joan Vollmer Adams Burroughs; this book fills in other details of her wild and short life. Profiles of writers such as Joyce Johnson, Hettie Jones, Janna McClure, and Janine Pommy Vega account for the rest of the anthology.

Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick Mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 156 pages ... These interviews with some of the most influential American and Russian writers of their generation ( Ginsberg, Voznesensky, Aksyonov, Snyder, Bitov, Akhmadulina, Okudzhava, McClure, Gladilin, & Ferlinghetti ) ... reveal the international nature of the Beat Generation and the Russian New Wave ... The Beats - Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, Lawrence Ferklinghetti, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure and many others - who were popularized and scandalized by the press, have provided inspiration for generations of young people since the sixties ... The international scope of the youth movements of the 1960s has long been recognized, but the Beat Generation had its counterpart not only in Britain's Angry Young Men, but also in the Russian New Wave ... Stalin's death in 1953 and Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" paved the way for the short period known as The Thaw ...

Gift Giving quality ... Never opened , Never owned , Never marked ... 149 pages ... illustrated with B&W and color photos throughout ... Banned for a brief period in advance of its release in Ontario, the film ' Grass ' by documentary film maker Ron Mann is as controversial as it is humorous ... In June of 2000 it was released to audiences across North America and met with rave reviews ( once its brief ban was lifted ) ... 'Grass,' both the book and the film that it is based on, traces the history of North America's prohibition of marijuana, and the seemingly absurd lengths that governments (particularly the federal government in the US) have gone to eradicate its sale and consumption - essential reading for anyone interested in the popular history of the world's oldest and most continually disobeyed prohibition ...

	MICHAELS, LISA Split - a Counterculture Childhood New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1998. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" 0395837391 1998 Hardcover in DJ 1st Edition ... BRAND NEW from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality .... Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick Mylar sleeve ... 307 pages ... In 'Split,' Lisa Michaels offers a strikingly textured portait of her days of communes and road trips, of antiwar protests and rallies - and of what came after, for her parents and for herself - as the radicalism of the 1960s and '70s gave way to conservative times ... As a young child, Lisa visited her father in prison, where he was serving a two-year sentence for his part in an antiwar protest ... In the early '70s, she toured the country with her mother and step-father in a customized mail truck, complete with Oriental rugs and a wood stove, until the family settled in a small northern California town ... Her father later moved to the Bay Area, where he worked in auto plants and served as a labour organizer ... By the age of eight Lisa was a veteran leaflet-folder, and she consecrated her father's second marriage in a Berkeley park by reading from Quotations from Chairman Mao ... Not surprisingly, Lisa grew up craving conformity - giving her mother makeovers and arranging their secondhand furniture in inspired ways - but she also came to share many of the values her parents held dear: independence, frankness, and unsparing self-examination ... In the buttoned-up world of UCLA during the Reagan years, she went through a hippie revival phase, wearing batik dresses and Chairman Mao pins, a throwback amid the campus's Greek revivalists and young Republicans ... Against that traditional backdrop, her parents' longtime activism took on new meaning, and at twenty-two, Michaels embarked on a trip through Asia, very much in the spirit of her upbringing ... Observant, liuminous, and wry, Split captures both the vulnerability and heady freedom of a counterculture childhood ... It s a powerful blend of social reflection and personal reminiscence, a memoir that paints a clear-eyed and unforgettable picture of the ways in which the legacy of the '60s played out in one remarkable family ...

Red metallic title impressed on slate grey boards, with color endpages ... 650 pages with index ... illustrated with 32 pages of glossy Color & B&W photographs ... Michael Palin has kept a diary since newly married in the late 1960s, when he was beginning to make a name for himself as a TV scriptwriter ( for The Two Ronnies, David Frost, etc. ) ... Monty Python was just around the corner ... This volume of his diaries reveal how Python emerged and triumphed, how he, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, the two Terrys - Jones and Gilliam - and Eric Idle came and changed the face of British comedy ... But this is only part of Palin's story ... Here is his growing family, his home in a north London Victorian terrace, which gorws as he buys the house next door and then a second at the bottom of the garden; here, too, is his solo effort - as an actor in Three Men in a Boat, his acting endeavours ( often in partnership with Terry Jones ) that produces Ripping Yarns and even a pantomime ... Meanwhile Monty Python refuses to go away: the hugely successful movies that follow the TV ( his account of the making of both The Holy Grail and the Life of Brian movies are page-turners ), the at times extraordinary goings on of the many powerful personalities who coalesced to form the Python team, the fight to prevent an American TV network from bleeping out the best jokes on U.S. transmission, and much more - all this makes for funny and riveting reading ... The birth and childhood of his three children, his father's growing disability, learning to cope as a young man with celebrity, his friendship with George Harrison, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also essential ingredients of these diaries ... A perceptive and funny chronicle, the diaries are a rich portrait of a fascinating period ...

	WOLF, LEONARD / DEBORAH WOLF , EDS. Voices from the Love Generation - Interviews with 15 Hippies - 1968 Boston: Little Brown & Co, 1968. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6-1/4 x 9-1/2 x 1 " 1968 First Edition HARDCOVER in DJ ... Book is in VG Condition with light fading starting top front board & previous owner's name written in ink inside flyleaf, otherwise no noticable flaws; Jacket is in G condition with numerous rips and tears but otherwise intact & Jacket is protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 283 pages with epilogue & glossary ... illustrated with 15 B&W photographs ... The Hippie phenomenon has piqued the curiosity and emotions of nearly the whole country - "straights" and wishful teeny-boppers, as well as parents suddenly thrust into the midst of such Hippie enclaves as New York's East Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury in a frantic search for a runaway child ... Drugs, sex, dirt and bizarre appearances are the Hippies' identifying trademarks as given us by the media in their strenuous and superficial coverage of the scene ... Americans have turned on to the Hippie argot and new idioms have entered the vernacular so rapidly that their origins are already obscured ...Graphic arts, music, fashion, advertising, even politics have pirated the Hippie style, if not content ... In short, our society, with its remarkable ability to absorb nearly every challenge made to it, has swallowed the Hippies whole without ever knowing what's happened ... Leonard Wolf, professor of English at San Francisco State College, has been involved with the Haight-Ashbury Hippie community for over a year as an observer and as director of Happening House, a communications center in the district ... Along with his admittedly straight sensibility, Mr. Wolf brought to his work in the community an open mind and a determination to understand the movement as it really is ... Voicces from the Love Generation is a collection of interviews with 15 Hippies, recorded and arranged by Mr. Wolf and his wife Deborah in 1968 ... The startling candor, the rough language, the frankness about sex and drugs, indeed, the mere effort at communication with the straight world that characterize these interviews, are a tribute to the trust and respect the Wolfs have earned from the Hippies ... This book is by the Hippies, not about them ... Their words are transcribed without alteration and they tell it as it really is ... Interviews with: Peter Mackaness ... Lenore Kandel ... Steve Levine ... Patrick Gleeson ... Maggie Gaskin ... Charlotte Todd ... Peter Cohon ...Sandra Butler ... Pancho ... Tavi Strauch ... Teresa Murphy ... Wes Wilson ... Ron Thelin ...
