Zustand: Fine in near fine jacket. First edition. Rare hardcover first printing of Ricard's second book of poems, in the even rarer transparent secondary dust jacket. The poet, painter, and critic first rose to underground stardom while barely out of his teens as an actor in Warhol's KITCHEN, CHELSEA GIRLS, and THE ANDY WARHOL STORY. In later decades, Ricard's influential essays for ARTFORUM helped launch the early careers of Julian Schnabel, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. In his introduction to a later edition of GOD WITH REVOLVER, Hanuman editor Raymond Foye recalled the '80s as a time of great good fortune for Ricard and a decade that nearly killed him: "That he survived this period is a miracle. It was during that time we assembled this book [.] I was afraid it would be his last." Ricard's agreement with Hanuman was contingent on the book's full-size format, "something that violated the whole premise of the project, based as it was on the miniature format. This sort of contrariness was typical of Rene" (Foye). A bright copy. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original peacock blue cloth. In original silver-lettered blue pictorial dust jacket, with original transparent secondary dust jacket. 101, [3] pages.
