Original Typescript for ARAM SAROYAN / 1st Edition 1968

Description: Original Typescript for ARAM SAROYANBy Aram Saroyan1968Near-complete original typescript for Aram Saroyan's self-titled collection of minimal and concrete verse.Overall very good plus. ARAM SAROYAN contained the poet's infamous "four-legged m" poem, holder of the Guiness record for world's shortest, but here absent likely due to inability to type the poem. Otherwise the complete text of the book, though in slightly different order and with different pagination (condensed to just six pages, presumably for convenience). The second of Saroyan's infuential trilogy of concrete collections that began with COFFEE COFFEE the previous year, and was largely complete by the publication of PAGES the next. And though Saroyan has gone on to a long and respected writing career, these conceptual poems are likely to be the work for which he is best remembered for. A gathering of these three books, COMPLETE MINIMAL POEMS (Ugly Duckling), won the William Carlos Williams Award in 2007 and was republished by Primary Information in 2014. A rare typescript from a defining and groundbreaking work of 20th century avant garde poetics. New York: Random House, 1968. Book: White printed wrappers. Mild shelfwear.
