MAGNIFIQUE!!!

Edited and with an Introduction by Scott Connors, and handsomely presented in a sumptuous Centipede Press edition! www.centipedepress.com The volume collects ALL of Smith's prose poems (perhaps the finest penned by any American poet), and includes photographs of hundreds of Smith's sculptures, paintings, and drawings. The volume is oversized at 7 x 10 inches. This is a signed edition limited to 300 copies. Smith's signature is reproduced in facsimile.
Ye Appreciations & Memoirs section includes essays by Donald Sydner-Fryer, Samuel J. Sackett, Fritz Leiber, William Whittingham Lyman, Emil Petaja, George F. Haas, Eric Butlet, RAH Hoffman, and Ethel Heiple.
My gawd, looking at this amazing book makesme swoon in ecstasy. I have been planning to compose a wee collection of things inspir'd by the fantasies of CAS--and this book will be a profound source of inspiration.

Cloth with dustjacket and slipcase, unsigned: $200.
Many thanks for this. I was searching for photos of the inside of the book and found your post. You had me at "My gawd..." I was fortunate enough to find a copy for $180 (on Amazon, yuck).
