New York: Pantheon Books, 1993. Proof copy. Paperback, light blue wraps. Very slight wear on corners, otherwise in near fine condition. Laid in is a folded proof of the publisher's dust jacket, with black ink stamp in verso. Kathy Acker's thirteenth novel, My Mother: Demonology is an exploration of love, desire and power, that takes the character back to her childhood's memories and experiences. This experimental and boundary pushing novel, composed of fragments and references to cult and canonical works of literature and film, is a fantastic example of Kathy Acker's impulse to turn literary and aesthetic precepts inside out. An acclaimed novel by a countercultural icon.

Prepublication first edition. [Probable publication date: 18 September 1989.] 55pp. Green soft cover. Clean text pages. "Wolfwatching" was Hughes' 14th collection of poetry - he digs deeply into his own childhood and his family history, as well as writing about nature's violence and the meaning he finds in it. Included in the collection is the poem "The Black Rhino" written for the purpose of raising funds to save this endangered animal. The Library Journal considered reading Wolfwatching was "like visiting a zoo envisioned by Hieronymus Bosch: we're caught between fright and fascination". He was married to the American poet Sylvia Plath until her death in 1963. Ted Hughes is considered one of England's finest modern poets - winning the Whitbread Book of the Year in two…
