A lovely association copy of Bukowski's rare second book, inscribed with a poem to his friend and fellow poet John William Corrington (1932-88). This special extra issue of EPOS Quarterly was completely devoted to Bukowski's work. Of the 500 copies printed, about 300 were sent as compliments to subscribers, and 200 were for sale. Of those, this is one of an unknown number retained by Bukowski for his personal disbursement.
