Inscribed copy of Antin’s first book of “talk poems,” a radical stylistic departure whose formal and philosophical ramifications Antin would continue to plumb for the rest of his career. NY: New Directions, 1976. First edition, the trade paperback issue. Perfect-bound in black-and-white wraps; 5 x 8 in.; 267pp. Signed and briefly inscribed by Antin on the title page.
