Annandale-on-Hudson: Bard College, 1970. First edition. [74] pp. 16mo. Illustrated wrappers. Light shelfwear and creasing, foxing to back cover. First edition. [74] pp. 16mo. The first and only issue of this Bard College literary magazine edited by Jonathan Kaplan, featuring a 30 page interview with Allen Ginsberg by Pierre Joris and W.R. Prescott – "A Talk with Allen Ginsberg," which is hand-corrected by Claude Pelieu, Ginsberg (7 corrections), and Joris (throughout), with an autograph note by Pelieu "to Robert Head," possibly in anticipation of a reprint in Head’s Nola Express periodical.
"This interview, once meant to be, and which eventually was, broadcast over the Bard College radio station, was taped in a little house up the road from Bard, on the afternoon of December 3, 1969. Ginsberg was giving a reading at Bard that night. Present were students W.R. Prescott, S.S. Kushner, graduate Pierre Joris, a girl from Bard, and a young guy who had picked up Ginsberg, hitch hiking, in his micro-bus."
This issue also features an excerpt from Claude Pelieu's "The Black Calendar," two cut ups by Pierre Joris, "Memoirs of Miss Montez Mr Smith" by Carl Weissner, "On Ken's Wall" by Charles Sims and "The Return of Answers: An Interview with Pere Ubu" by J.S. Kaku.
Scarce, with just three copies located in OCLC, and rare thus, annotated. As far as we can tell, not reprinted. (Inventory #: 371159)
