The Sausage Master of Minsk; Poems

Montreal: Villeneuve, 1977. First edition. Slight toning to spine and edges; endsheets offset from a laid in letter. 8vo, unpag. chapbook in wrappers, stapled. The poet's first book, one of 500 numbered copies signed by Kleinzahler, the entire edition. Laid in is a brief TLS from Kleinzahler, alas typed on poor-quality and highly acidic paper, presenting the book to the poet, writer, and translator Christopher Middleton, one of Kleinzahler's literary heroes, who ultimately also became a good friend.
