London: Fulcrum Press, 1968. First trade edition.
From the library of Beat poet Diane di Prima, with her signature on front free end paper. Di Prima and Ginsberg met during the mid-1960s. They went on to become two of the most famous poets of the Beat Generation. Di Prima and Ginsberg were both Buddhists, making this work -- written by Ginsberg during his travels through South East Asia and titled for the Hindu-Buddhist temple complex in Cambodia -- of particular interest to her.
Very good, dust soiled at top of text block, corners lightly bumped and some uneven fading to boards, in a good plus priced dust wrapper, shelf worn, creased and with a few chips at spine tips, rear panel soiled and with some staining.
Morgan, A14(a)2, pgs. 23-24; Dowden, pgs. 15-17.
