Malanga, Gerard

Sparrow 66, March 1978

Los Angeles, CA: Black Sparrow Press, 1978. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. This March 1978 number of the literary journal published by the venerable Black Sparrow Press consists of one work by Gerard Malanga, poet & important member of Andy Warhol's "factory" scene at the height of the 1960s counterculture & beyond. The poem appeared among many others five years later in a Black Sparrow Press volume of the same title. A significant Malanga/BSP rarity, & an ideal collector's companion to the larger compilation, in very fine condition: Very light rubbing, scratching, creasing at spine, small curve-bump at upper right corner & smaller gauge-crease near lower right corner of front cover; very light browning, creasing & bumping of edges, spine & lower left corners of rear cover. Interior virtually mint except for curve-bump at upper right corner & gauge-crease near lower right corner of front cover noted above extending through pages. Very Fine. [Item #1969]
