Das Lebensjacket - eine Reise (New York, Columbus, Chikago, St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, Santa Fe, Williams, Bakersfield, San Franzisko)
Olten, Switzerland: Galerie Elisabeth Kaufmann, Marz/April 1977. Paperback. Unpaginated, some 35 to 40p. plus a half-dozen b&w photos appended, a neat little softbound in gloss-black 8x6 inch wraps with minimalist titling, texts printed double-spaced (reproduced from typewritten ms, rectos only with versos left blank), inscribed (super-briefly) to "Bob" and signed "Martin". Covers very slightly edgeworn with slightly abraded spine-joints, a very good copy: sound, clean, otherwise unmarked.
By one of the few poets to have admitted stepping into Bakersfield, see also William Taylor Jr., former Bolerium employee. Martin may have been hitch-hiking, to judge by the photographs of empty highway vistas.
