Rommel Drives on Deep into Egypt

Richard Brautigan

Delta Book, NY. 1970. Some chipping to front and rear cover; yellowing to text. A love poem is inscribed on the end papers. A unique and lovely copy.

Another freaky compendium of Brautigan's poetic works. This one is a ripper, of particular note is the titular poem.

" Rommel is dead.
   His army has joined the quicksand legions
   of history where the battle is always
   a metal echo saluting a rusty shadow.
   His tanks are gone.
   How's your ass?"

Come on now, don't you want to read the rest?
