WHAT SHALL WE DO WITHOUT US KENNETH PATCHEN Illustrated Poems SIGNED 1st Ed

  
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITHOUT US? The VOICE and VISION of KENNETH PATCHEN, with an afterword by JAMES LAUGHLIN. SIGNED on the title page by MIRIAM PATCHEN and JAMES LAUGHLIN. His signature is always very difficult. Their signatures are next to the printed statement "A YOLLA BOLLY PRESS BOOK". Carolyn and James Robertson founded and ran the Yolla Bolly Press, Covelo, Mendocino County, California. James Robertson died in 2001. I believe Carolyn Robertson is still involved with the Press. A Yolla Bolly Press Book Published by Sierra Club Books, San Francisco, 1984. Softcovers, 8.5x12 inches, ILLUSTRATED with 37 COLOR PLATES sandwiched between a few prelim text pages and the 24 page afterword by Laughlin. Each of the color plates is printed on its own leaf i.

VERY GOOD condition, the covers have some light toning to the spine and margins, otherwise tight, bright, clean and unmarked. An attractive, very presentable copy.
