A diminutive collection of ten poems, including one visual poem, by this little-known New York theater director and writer, who notably co-directed the 1964 Andy Warhol film Soap Opera. In the mid-1960s, Benjamin headed the short-lived New Kinda Theatre Company, who per a notice in the July, 24 1965 issue of the Daily News, staged Arise, Arise, a "dream play" by poet Louis Zukofsky, and also planned to stage a dramatic interpretation of Allen Ginsberg's Kaddish, and The Rubber-Heart Soap Opera by Andy Warhol, Gerard Malanga and Jerry Benjamin. He issued at least four volumes in this "Everything" series, none of which appear in OCLC.
