Hi It seems to be extremely uncommon. There is no record at the Library of Congress or the British Library. Google yields nothing for the title. There is a copy in the New York Public Library which yields the following: Call # D-10 3348 Author Harmon, James. Title In praise of eponymous Iahu. Drawings by Donald Bladen; foreword by Cuy Wernham. Imprint [San Francisco] Bern Porter, 1956. http://catnyp.nypl.org/search/aHarmon%2C+James%2C/aharmon+james/-2%2C-1%2C0%2CB/frameset&FF=aharmon+james&2%2C%2C2 The only other reference they have for Harmon is as editor of Ark III, one of the 2 copies they have is from Jack Kerouac's private collection. The Beat Page for the events of 1956 lists: "Michael McClure and James Harmon edit Ark II-Moby I which blends work of Beats and Black Mountain poets with Buddhist thought" http://www.rooknet.com/beatpage/info/info_chronology.html nothing for the illustrator some info on the publisher http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bern_Porter |

Hello, hardtofindbooks-ga, and truckloads of 'thank yous' for lifting the lid of my box of book trials thus validating my instincts about this title. I've been searching (off and on) for information for 5-6 years, as that is when it entered my life. It has both pleased and plagued me; plagued me because I could not find 'the facts, mam, and just the facts'. The pleasure comes from the book as a whole - both what Mr. Harmon committed to paper and the drawings by Mr. Bladen are - mystical? - no, ethereal. And on and on I go... Judging by the associations you mentioned, clearly this is an uncommon book in many ways. Thanks again. minot-ga |
