The Pill Versus the Spring Hill Mine Disaster

Richard Brautigan

Delta Books, NY. 1967. Third Delta Printing. Some age appropriate toning to front and rear cover and text. Some creasing to cover. Pages pristine. Quite nice!

A classic of Brautigan's poetic works. The most "infamous" poem being this simple four line doozy:

"When you take your pill
   it's like a mine disaster.
   I think of all the people
        lost inside of you."

Yowza! But the rest of this is an exemplar of Brautigan's wit and mischievousness. Modern Jester Classic.
