Tokyo: Nakatogawa Hiroyuki, March 20, , 1938. First edition of this uncommon Japanese propaganda piece recording the opening campaigns of the Japanese in the Second Sino-Japanese War. Japan's failure to defeat China in this war became the key dynamic for what happened in Asia during the Second World War. In his award-winning study of the conflict - China's War with Japan, 1937-1945: The Struggle for Survival (2013) - Rana Mitter, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China at the Institute for Chinese Studies at Oxford, opens his prologue by saying "In the spring of 1939 Europe was still, albeit uneasily, at peace. But some seven thousand kilometres to the east, the Second World War was already well under way". Just three copies on WorldCat, Manchukuo collection in the Harvard-Yenching Library, Stanford, and Princeton.

(New York): The Little Red Hen Press, 1970. First printing. (6) pp., 8.5 x 11 inches. Side-stapled into printed wrappers. Printed by mimeograph. One of ten signed and numbered copies, out of a total edition of fifty. Mild darkening and foxing to edges of cover, and with a small stain at the top of the last few pages (not affecting text), otherwise very good. A complaint, in the form of a series of short poems, about having to do all the work of publishing other poets (“I am the little red hen / I work my ass off / for all the poets // And what do I get? / A pat on the butt / when the sun goes down”). Various second-generation New York School poets are called out by animal aliases (“Ted the Bear” Berrigan, “Ron Giraffe” Padgett, etc.), while the Little Red Hen confirms that they will do the work themself. Attributed to Fagin and Waldman (copies signed by each of them have surfaced, including one signed by Waldman “aka the Little Red Hen”). This is number 4 from the ten numbered copies, signed… Read More
