TOPOLSKI'S CHRONICLE Vol. XIII, Nos. 5-6 (London: 1965).
Broadsheet double-sided offset lithograph, folded once to make 4pp. 58.4x91.4cm. (unfolded).
SIGNED in red by Trocchi at his contribution.
The 'International Poetry At The Royal Albert Hall London' issue of Topolski's long-running Chronicle, featuring his charcoal drawings of many of the participants, several poems reproduced in holograph facsimile in blue and red inks, and a text by Alexander Trocchi, "What Happened At The Royal Albert Hall?".
Though stating "Not all the poems reproduced here were recited at the Albert Hall", the broadsheet prints holograph manuscript poems by Allen Ginsberg, Harry Fainlight, Michael Horovitz, Pete Brown, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, John Esam, Dan Richter, Stevie Smith, Adrian Mitchell, Ernst Jandl, Peter Porter, Edwin Morgan (who taught Trocchi at Glasgow University in the late 1940s), Edward Lucie-Smith, Tom McGrath, and Alexander Trocchi.
Very Good plus.
