Philip Levine. 

 

Unicorn Press: 1970. First edition. Perfect bound softcover pamphlet. Octavo. Slight soiling on the front wrap. Unpaginated. Near fine. 

 

Inscribed to Henri and Jackie Coulette: "My lifelong friends, the best I got." Levine put Henri front and center in his The Simple Truth, which won the Pulitzer.  

 

"I wore angels. 

They saved me in the streets 

where the towers hung above 

suspended on breath, they 

saved me from the pale woman 

who smoothed the breasts 

of chickens or the red-armed 

one who sold bread in 

the shop of knives."
