Description: An association copy: Diane Di Prima's copy with her ownership signature at the top of the front free endpaper. Di Prima and Duncan were friends and both significant poets in the San Francisco Renaissance and Beat poet scene. Di Primawrote of her friendship with Duncan:"Robert used to come and hang for days, he'd move into my house in Marshall in the '70s, and bring his French mysteries that he was teaching himself idiomatic French from, and his notebook, and he'd stay for days. And he always came to Christmases with the kids, because Jess doesn't like holidays, and so I'd have to say mid-'70s, through '75 on, he was there many weekends, many mornings . . . . Eating fried herring from the bay for breakfast." A near fine copy with a little rubbing to lower board edges; in a very good jacket with some creasing to rear panel and wear to corners and spine ends.
