Napora, Joe

Nukechoes

Ashland, KY: BullHead Books, 2018. First Edition. Sewn Wrappers. Signed by Joe Napora. An intense, explosive (so to speak) collection of poems by Joe Napora, the passionate & prolific poet, publisher, editor & activist. With reproductions of artworks & treated photographs; dizzying & darkly hilarious wordplay-mashups including the very title; first letters of some poems specially colored & forming vertical phrases of satirical menace; & other kaleidoscopic aspects that form a propulsive whole. So propulsive, in fact, that we cannot quote any of the poems except in their entirety, so driven & continuous is their structure. The over-riding theme is global nuclear Armageddon. Chapbook in sewn binding, a most exemplary later production of Napora's own BullHead imprint. There is even less information than usual with no copyright or colophon references, we obtained the date from a reliable authority. On the closest equivalent to a title page, Napora has hand-written his signature in bold black ink. An essential, incendiary Napora rarity that all but burns as you peruse it- so be forewarned. In very fine condition with only light rubbing, scratching & faint creasing to front, esp. back covers & sewn spine; a few tiny bumps & faint creases at thin edges & corners of same. Interior very fine with some very small ink-spots on blank page opposite & residue of signature; tiny bumps at corners of some page leaves. Very Fine. [Item #4215]
