LITTLE CAESAR 11

(Los Angeles): (Little Caesar Press), 1980. Very good plus.. Scarce penultimate issue of Cooper's literary journal featuring photographs from Wojnarowicz's Rimbaud in New York series, as well as selections from his "Monologues From the American Road." For the Rimbaud series, Wojnarowicz made a mask using the famous photograph of the poet at seventeen, then "took a series of photos of his friends wearing it around New York City in the late seventies. Rimbaud rides a densely graffitied subway train; Rimbaud tries to cross an avenue in rush-hour traffic [...] Wojnarowicz, whose artistic career spanned the late seventies to his death, from AIDS, in 1992, at thirty-seven, posed the Rimbaud portraits in spots around New York that were significant in his own life, primarily the places where he had hustled as a child prostitute in his teen years" (Donegan). Other contributors to this issue include James Schuyler, Tom Carey, Tim Dlugos, Ted Greenwald, Michael Lally, Anne Waldman, Eileen Myles, Gerard Malanga, Tom Clark, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Amy Gerstler. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original black and white photographic wrappers. 234, [6] pages. Light edgewear, faint spine creasing and traces of soil to back cover.
