The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills
Los Angeles: Black Sparrow Press, 1969. First Edition. Octavo. Item #024021
Limited to 50 copies. The present copy is #26 signed by the author and with original art tipped in at the front. A raw and unflinching collection of poems about ordinary survival and fleeting moments of beauty. With his trademark mix of grit, humor, and unexpected tenderness, Bukowski writes of drinking, sex, loneliness, and the stubborn act of creating art in a harsh world. These poems are snapshots of life lived on the edge, where the days slip away too fast but still leave flashes of wild freedom. Handbound by Earle Gray in publisher's 1/4 stripped velvet over paper covered boards lettered in green and red, paper spine label lettered in dark blue, yellow endpapers, in its original acetate jacket. A fine copy.[Krumhansl-32-c].
