Event Vol. 2 No. 2 (Fall 1972)

New Westminster, B.C., Canada: Douglas College, 1972. First Printing. Softcover. This early number of the academic literary-art-cultural journal published at Douglas College in British Columbia & then-edited by David Evanier (the now-noted American author & biographer) features the exemplary poem "Hot" by Charles Bukowski (1920-1994), the great American cult favorite poet-denizen of the dive bar & racetrack, preceded by a contemporary portrait illustration of Bukowski by V. Dini Evanier, presumably David's wife (pgs. 50-52). Debritto, B678, pg. 236. Also in this issue are contributions of poetry & prose by editor Evanier (a review of Bukowski's now-canonical "...Tales of Ordinary Madness" volume), Alden Nowlan, Gordon Pinset, Gerald walker & many more. Trade-format softcover in sewn binding, presumed first-&-only printing. A rich & rewarding collectible of particular interest to the Bukowski devotee-completist. In exceptionally relatively very fine condition with only hints of rubbing, faint scratching & fading to front, back covers & spine; a few tiny bumps at edges & corners of same; very slight rubbing, browning to edges of text block. Interior very fine with only a touch of browning mostly at blank margins/edges of page leaves; tiny bumps at corners of some leaves. Very Fine. [Item #7280]
