Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo, wraps, very good, light wear and some gentle spine creases, inscribed "Best wishes to Richard, Jackson, NYC, 2/7/87." With postcard addressed to poet Richard Dillon in Pittsburgh from 1/20/87: "Dear Richard, *Thanks* for the poems & for dedicating the one in color to me (it's the most interesting, I think, tho I'd like to see "out there over" in larger type so I cd really read it). [If the "wizard" is supposed to be me, I'm no wizard nor want to be & I'm very often weary--but that doesn't take away from the *poem*--only from the /appropriateness of the/ the dedication] {Is the "Alan" Davies? } Best wishes for 1987 & beyond, Jackson."
