Title: Vagabond Anthology
Author: John Bennett
[$15] John Bennett wrote “Tripping in America” which I sell here. And he recorded “Rug Burn” which I sell. He’s had quite a bit of work published that’s highly regarded but no one has heard about. As I said, he’s one of the last Beats and he’s still a window-washer, but he’s been kicking butt for decades now without ever giving an inch.
He’s also published a lot of other people’s work.
He did “Black Messiah: a Henry Miller Tribute”—a collection of essays, art and interviews of dozens from fine underground writers from the early 80’s when Miller was still 100% persona-non-grata in the feminized literary world—which I also can get copies of easily. That’s a truly fine volume. It’s NOS—new old stock—from the 80’s; about 180 pages.
He also published the “Vagabond Anthology.” It’s a great look at the best of 60s-80s underground literary publishing as seen through the eyes and dozens of writers who were published by Vagabond over the years.
He’s always been one of the heaviest hitters. One for the long-haul.
