Thank you for your note regarding my collection. We do have a number of books in common. I'm afraid that for the past few years I haven't been adding many new books along the lines of the one by Stephen Jonas. For a while now I've had a tendency to concentrate more in books from before 1970 or books in languages other than English.
Thank you
Greg

thanks for your missive. Oh yes, "Junkie" is one of my all time top five books. T'is a pity the rest of his stuff couldn't match up to it; from "The Soft Machine" onwards it was as Samuel Beckett so aptly put it after reading some of Bill's work, 'That's not writing, it's plumbing'. Having said that however, he had some cracking one-liners - my favourite being 'No one owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death.'
Shine on brightly

Yeah, it's a fine book. Looks the way all poetry books should look... Surely it's letterpressed, isn't it? And it's a Tom Kryss cover, that is really something! I just noted that my copy is inscribed by Blazek in 1969, "to Al", which seems to be Al Purdy. Are we the only ones here with this book...I saw that 650 copies were made.
I have Skull Juices also and a some Olé stuff. Your other title you have I never heard of, I will look around for it..
Good to hear from you
