Dear Carolyn: Letters to Carolyn Cassadky
(California, PA, 1983): A & K Knight [for the Estate of Jack Kerouac), 1983. Limited Edition. Octavo. Item #028158
Limited to 1000 copies. 31 pages. The authors whose writings on the beats began in 1971 were dedicated to providing an archival record of what the beats wrote rather than publishing new poems, essays, etc. This is a part of their continuing series entitled "the unspeakable visions of the individual". Arthur Knight writes: "In these letters spanning a decade Kerouac talks about Buddhism, growing a garden, life in Mexico, working on the railroad, drinking, his mother, the pain he experienced " writing about everybody as they are" and his love for Carolyn and her family. Staple bound in pictorial wraps lettered and decorated in black, the last three pages have a lower corner crease, some toning to edges. A very good copy.
