Ekstasis by Philip Lamantia
Arguably the most significant work of this visionary poet (alongside his Erotic Poems), who was associated with the Beats and who read alongside Allen Ginsberg’s first declamation of Howl at San Francisco’s Six Gallery in 1955, but who remained somewhat singular and almost as interested in peyote and ancient religion as poetry. Published in San Francisco by the Auerhahn Press, 1959, this is the charming first edition, one of 950 copies, in Fine condition.
