Digest-sized staplebound booklet in pictorial black-and-white wraps, some waviness and minor grubbiness to front and back panels, signed and dated w/ dedication on title page, stated edition of 75 copies. Over 30 very short poems, each dedicated to a ‘woman of the Beat generation’, including Diane di Prima, Lenore Kandel, Jay DeFeo and many more.
