Letters From Masada – poetry

Talk about being green. This is a book of poems that I wrote when I was 17 . Clifford Burke, who is known as the Godfather of small presses, ran Cranium Press. We were friends and he asked me to get a book together. Ferlinghetti put a dozen copies of it in the window to the right of the door of City Lights. (I remember thinking that was normal.) The cover photo is by Steve Mindel; it’s not a galaxy. 1967
