[No Place]: K. Selig, 1980. [41] loose leaves, 8-1/2 x 11 in; photocopied holograph text to rectos only. Housed in a "Franklin Clasp" manilla envelope with red rubber-stamp titles to front. Light bumping to corners of the mildly toned leaves; envelope with light wear; very good.
A humorous and referential comment on the relationship between literature and onanistic self-love. Each of the leaves with a brief text in which titles and lines from famous writers—Emily Dickinson, e. e. cummings, Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman (repeatedly)—are twisted to include the word "onan," which frequently replaces a near-homophone ("man," human," "on," "O," etc). E.g. "pity this busy monster, onankind, not," "onan the barbarian," "onan you whom I call often and silently come where you are," "I took my power in my hand and went against the world, onan," etc. OCLC locates a single holding, at the Brooklyn Museum.
