Black Rabbit Press

(C)1975

Tom Kryss was the publisher and likely cover artist. This is a Mimeo. I actually reached out to Wagner twice before his passing in reference to this one. I was remiss in the first exchange and contacted him again, asking him to sign my copy of this book. Which he did. 


D. r. Wagner had authored over 20 books of poetry and letters, and had produced over 50 magazines and chapbooks /mimeos. He was the founder and editor of Niagara Press and Runciple Spoons Press, and had worked with and published poets including d.a.levy, Jim Morrison, Kenneth Rexroth, and Allen Ginsberg. In addition to his literary career, Wagner was a singer-songwriter, musician and visual artist who won international awards and had pieces placed in museum collections. Wagner taught Design at UC Davis for twenty years. 

He died in 2023.
