Chicago: Big Table Publishing Company, 1970. First edition. [104]pp; b&w plates. Square 12mo. Rust-red cloth; black spine titles; unclipped dust jacket. Near fine, with a few spots of faint soiling to fore-edge. Very good jacket, moderately rubbed.
Early work by American writer Aram Saroyan (b. 1943); an interesting development of the minimal poetry for which his early career is best known. Pairs forty black-and-white photographs taken by Saroyan between 1957 and 1968 with one- to three-word "poems" on facing pages, the interplay between two elements being "at times haunting or cryptic, at times witty, and always lucid" (jacket flap). Photographs organized in chronological sections, with subjects and/or locations identified beneath each image.
