TABLE OF CONTENTS

1968 – American Literary Anthology #1
Edited by George Plimpton and Peter Ardery, poetry selected by James Dickey, Robert Creeley and Denise Levertov
The set taken from Norm Moser's wild Illuminations portfolio, assembled in the Straight Theater in the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco, was my first three shaman songs and a fourth that I later put in front of the full set as a hypnotic "preface". I'll link you to the online version of the DUSTbooks chapbook with the full 13 section poem...

Edited by Bill Henderson & a band of selecters
I haven't been able to find the publisher, or the selectors, though I know one of the two who selected my single poem was Bucky Fuller. I don't remember the other or the publication the poem was in. I'll liven this Table of contents by putting the poem here...
THE FLOWERING CACTI

Chin tucked into collar.
Red and white eyes rolled up
into steel blue sockets.
Scruffy rooster cackling in my throat.
Unhired. Unhinged.
Derelict with a few poems in print.
Arms folded, back bent,
trying to keep my belly warm.
Squeaking doors in that belly.
Too stubborn to admit
all the poets are dead,
I keep croaking, "Some of us
are only dying."
