Alan Watts. 
 
Stolen Paper: 1967. First edition. Perfect bound pamphlet. Octavo. Small wrinkles on the top corner of the front wrap. A few smudges and soling on the back wrap. Unpaginated. Very good. 
 
These poems and set-to-music ditties were published here for the first time after long residency inside Watts' head. The purpose, unsurprising for Watts, is also therapeutic and philosophical: 
 
"It is increasingly clear that parameters of this kind provide an essential corrective to the obsession of sanity.
 
More and more, one feels that free and dominant methods are loud, tough, and frequent. Obviously, closed corners must be very carefully under-rated; otherwise, popular notions of frame and texture will show that the entire system is purely academic, and that the particular point of convergent energies is that they are finally globular. 
 
Cows, naturally, are free of dust. But stops are most difficult to try. The real problem is that quills are too fat, and until we can easily connect ideas with tassels the function will empty."
