Hi Tom, thanks for the read. The book as by Elise Cowan. She was a Beat poet, who filled many notebooks, but committed suicide in her late 20s and never published. Her parents destroyed most of the writings when she died because many were lesbian themed. A friend stole one of the remaining books and published it as Elise Cohen: Poems and Fragments, years after her death. Not the best of the Beats, as compared to maybe a Di Prima, but still a book by a woman who died too young and was never heard. Much appreciated Tom. T
