Minutes to Go

Light blue printed wrappers, slightly faded to spine. SIGNED and dated (‘Paris, 1960’) by Sinclair Beiles to title page and SIGNED at the end of Beiles’s first contribution to this pamphlet. *** A selection of cut-off poetry by William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Sinclair Byles and a reluctant Gregory Corso, calling his contributions ‘uninspired machine-poetry’ in a post-script. First stand-alone publication showcasing the cut-up technique. An important and much sought-after publication, apparently limited to a thousand copies. Our copy is in near pristine condition and signed in two places by South African Beat poet Sinclair Beiles.
