Notes of a Dirty Old Man column - Nola Express #96, Dec. 17-30, 1971

[cirerita]

This column -unless completely reworked for book publication- remains uncollected. And I think it's the one which enraged Rexroth so much...

Patchen died January 8, 1972. Came across a half page in the LA Freep, January 14, 1972, noting his passing (photo along with a poem). So the timeline does indicate Patchen could have read the story.

When I read the "Kinnard" story I wondered if it was Patchen being referred to. I have a few Kenneth Patchen books, including one that Hallmark put out in 1970. He was a popular poet.

100 pounds seems a bit high, but not too bad. I'm converting it into weak US Dollars and it seems worse with the exchange rate...

Congrats! Relatively rare, but certainly readily available:
