Poly Rhythms to Freedom
Paris: Imprimerie Fact, [196-?]. Second edition. 38 pp., 21 cm. Photo-mechanically reproduced sheets. Cover-title, stapled into printed plastic wrapper, crease in back cover, else fine. The first edition was published by Mac McNair, New York in 1964, the title was mis-spelled ("Rythms"); there was a second revised printing of that edition in 1967, with the title corrected. Both printings were 40 pages long, the text was typeset, and the binding was red wrappers. This copy is from the rare second edition, which although cited in French, Fabre, Singh, Afro-American Poetry and Drama, is not in WorldCat. The text was entirely reset, (reproduced from typewritten copy) and revised both in small and large ways. In fact the final poem "Black Dilemma" is a completely different poem in this edition. The cover design is credited to A. James.
With the ownership blindstamp of Judith Malina and Julian Beck, founders of The Living Theatre. Item #32441
