Six American Poets
New York: Harvard Book Company of New York, 1964. First Edition.
A collection of poems assembled by street poet Jack Micheline featuring works by John Richardson, Roberts Blossom, B.A. Uronovitz, Stephen Tropp, Neil Chassman, and Murray Brown. Preface by James T. Farrell. The book also features striking black-and-white photos of all the poets.
Signed typewritten letter from Micheline laid in. "I feel this is a rare book for these fearful times here in America," he writes, inviting comments on the book. There's no addressee; he might have enclosed such letters when he sent the books to reviewers. In any case, we have not encountered a similar letter in other copies.
