Herald of the Autochthonic Spirit

Gregory Corso · New Directions · 1981

True first is the 1981 New Directions wrappered paperback original (NDP 522), issued only in wrappers; there was no separate cloth trade first. It was Corso's first major collection after a long gap, so the wrappered New Directions Paperbook is the form to seek.
