Description
James, J. G. (John) & Wayte, N. R. (editors); Olson, Charles; Zukofsky, Louis; Corman, Cid; Tomlinson, Charles; Gifford, Henry (reviews Pasternak’s Fifty Poems); Berry, Francis; James, J.G. (John). The Resuscitator Volume One Number Two April 1964: with handwritten poem by John James. Bristol: The Editors, 1964. First Edition. Stapled Wrappers. Very Good. 28pp. James has signed as J.G. James on the contents page & on the inside of the rear cover written out his (Who am I to say?) brilliant poem Days Passing, signing as John James beneath it. Curiously, unlike Plane Tree, which is printed here, not in his first collection, Mmm…Ah Yes (1967) but published, in the same form, in Tragheit (1968). This copy from the library of fellow British Poetry Revival poet, Peter Armstrong who like James & Wayte was based in Bristol at the time so very likely dating his ownership & the poem’s composition to 1964. Some foxing. Yapped covers a little nicked, creased & chipped.
