Wieners, John. Selected Poems. London, Jonathan Cape, 1972. 14 x 22cm. 125 pages. Original clothbound hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Excellent condition, other than very mild foxing and minor shelfwear to dustjacket spine. Born in Boston, poet John Wieners was a Beat poet, graduate of the Black Mountain School, and member of the San Francisco Renaissance. Wieners was also an antiwar and gay rights activist. His poetry combines candid accounts of sexual and drug-related experimentation with jazz-influenced improvisation, placing both in a lyrical structure. His honors include awards from the Poets Foundation, the New Hope Foundations, and the National Institute of Arts and Letters, as well as a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. He founded and edited the literary magazine Measure (1957–1962). [Poetry Foundation]
