[Vancouver]: blewointment press, 1968. First edition. 4to. Side-stapled mimeo wraps with 23 mimeographed leaves. Pictorial cover depicting levy from a photo by M.J. Roach. Near fine with just touches of wear at edges. Else bright, clean, and sound. An exceptional example of this fragile production which includes several fold-out and stapled-in elements often missing but here complete. One of 300 unnumbered copies. A elusive book, scarce in this condition. (Item ID: 12068)

The last book levy finished before his suicide in November of 1968, it remains one of his most compelling and important statements on the mimeo form and a masterpiece of concrete poetry consisting of texts interspersed with abstract forms and intentionally illegible passages. [Horvath and Taylor B-16].
