[1st ed] The Poetry of Performance: An Interview with Patti Smith (Plus Carry-Out)
Double booklet with Victor Bockris’ s early and seminal interview with Patti Smith in one direction, and Carry-Out edited by Jeff Goldberg in the other direction. Xeroxed multiilith in stapled wrappers printed on 8.5” x 11” colored papers, verso only. Published at 3705 Powelton Ave., Philadelphia, in 1972. Of particular interest is the first appearance in print of Bockris’s interview with Smith, on the cusp of her move from Philadelphia to lower Manhattan, covering her take on the St. Mark’s Poetry Project and the New York School poets, along with her performative ambitions and her influences and avatars. Bockris would go on to become Smith’s biographer; their collaboration began here. An exceptionally scarce document, since reprinted, staking out Smith’s territory in the avant-garde cultural scene. Cover design titled Electric Generation, by Victor Bockris; cover photograph for Carry-Out by Michael Delahanty. Short works in Carry-Out by Larry Schreiter, James Havelin, Aaron Poller, Marty Watt, Jeff Goldberg, and Kenneth Bluford. Light bumping to extremities, with small closed tear to front wrapper.
