1973 · réf. 9356 — New York: Adventures in Poetry / St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery Poetry Project 1973. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good. First Edition. Original Wraps. A narrative poem about Coney Island about which the poet John Ashbery said "An accomplished craftsman Snow has revived "blank verse"-of a sort-as the appropriate medium for his tale; it moves forward on the waltz rhythms of carrousel organs as heard in intervals between the surf and the din of the boardwalk. Snow's music is "light classical" his strokes are broad and his colors the jubilant pastel ones of a poster announcing the imminent arrival of an astounding phenomenon. But there is something tragic here too: the power that snapshots of forgotten afternoons have to force the reader suddenly to confront the present with the past life with death.". Some toning to original wrappers else very good in side-stapled binding photocopied literary zine. 54 unnumbered pages. One of 300 copies. Cover illustrated by New York artist Red Grooms.
