4 Poets (chapbook #2)

[Tempe, AZ, May, 1995): Synaesthesia Press. Limited Edition. Octavo. Limited to 243 copies. The present copy is #59. Bukowski's 1964 essay: "A Depressive State of Affairs for Kings, Writers, and Elevator Boys"--basically his ideas on being an honest writer versus pandering to the academic community--which he uses as an example Robert Creely. He accuses old professors of being driven by the knees and thighs of 19 year old girls who do not pull their dresses down in hopes of getting a "B" in English. Bound in light gray pictorial paper wraps with Bukowski's line drawings, faint crease to rear wrap. Nearly fine. (Inventory #: 031636)
