Diane Wakoski. Cap of Darkness. Black Sparrow Press, 1980.
Price: US$750.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Association copy, inscribed by one Beat great to another, from Wakoski to Gary and Masa Snyder on the deep blue FFEP: For the Snyders, An offering. That the inscription is on blue makes it somewhat difficult to read, and photograph. The signature is her uncommon, more-intimate, stylized "D" reserved for friends, and it's dated "June 1982," with one of her patented flower illustrations (modest aside Ginsberg s daisies). This book was originally accompanied by another Wakoski volume inscribed For Gary Snyder, with great admiration, confirming it is those Snyders (photo of the other book available). Softcover edition, mustard wraps with royal blue free endpapers. Near fine because of some minor creasing at the books corners. Please inquire for photos.
