Two NDP's by Patchen

$20.00

Patchen, Kenneth. Doubleheader: Hurrah for Anything / Poemscapes and A Letter to God. New Directions, 1958 (4th Printing). Softbound. $20.

Patchen, Kenneth. Because It Is: Poems and Drawings. New Directions, 1960 (7th Printing). Softbound. $20.

Two NDP's showcasing Patchen's influential 'drawing-and-poem form' and illustrating the long and fruitful relationship the poet formed with New Directions founder James Laughlin (he even briefly took an office job at the press in 1939). Doubleheader is a two-title, dos-à-dos format stunner that includes A Letter to God, excerpted from a pamphlet by Patchen booster Henry Miller. And Because It Is features a show-stopping cover credited to pioneering mail artist and collagist Ray Johnson.

Both books have tight, square spines; clean, unmarked interiors; light toning; and light to moderate edge-wear. Because It Is has a few small areas of subtle creasing to the covers. Text+Image.
