Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Whisper and Shout, Mickleover, Derby, 1968, first edition thus; 151 x 212mm, pp 64, stab stitched; covers slightly rubbed at the edges at with a little rusting of the staples but overall a good or better copy; well designed and printed on a mix of white and light brown papers with interspersed line drawings or other illustrations; outer covers with reversed out titling and text in fluorescent red on printed dark chocolate brown, handsomely done and jarringly appropriate to the force of the poems or commentary. . . . In addition to the Patchen poems there's a detailed introductory essay by Gould, other commentary and a 9pp essay on Patchen by Henry Miller, "Patchen: Man of Anger and Light" (first published in 1946) . . . This publication, noted as number one, is the first from the anarchist publisher Whisper & Shout. Whether other titles appeared I can't say, this being the only one I know of for certain. Its general aim, set out on the inner back cover, is to "try to print poems and features of guts and sensitivity.", adding "I disrespect Governors and Government, Lawmaker and Law. I respect conscience and direct non-violent actions. Disobedience and Love are two gentle but fierce commandments of anarchists and pacifists involved in this trivial and consuming society." . . . NOTE that as the book is slim and light, postage will be reduced from the defaults shown.…

His significance in publishing came with his editorship of the magazine Poetry Quarterly.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A complete run of one of the most important counter-culture reviews in American literary history. The reputation of the Evergreen Review grows ever more golden as time passes. Celebrated for its design, radical political content, and literary, intellectual excellence. First four issues signed by the editor and various contributors: issue no. 1 signed by Barney Rosset; no. 2, which introducted the Beat Movement to the nation while Howl was still in the midst of its obscenity trial, is signed by Rosset plus Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, and Allen Ginsberg; no. 3 is signed by both Rosset and Gary Snyder; no. 4 signed by Rosset and Robin Blaser. A remarkable Beat and American counter-culture high spot which rarely hits the market as a complete set, rarer still in this condition, and unheard of signed by Rosset and the key contributors. All numbered volumes very good or better; the Last Tango in Paris supplement is in good condition. Signed by Author(s). …
