This copy is a double-inscribed association copy carrying two lengthy, highly eccentric narratives from the author's alter-ego ("Blackjack"). *In the rare book trade, this is known as a double-inscribed association copy. Having two distinct, highly narrative notes from the author/publisher at both the front and back of the book makes it an exceptional rarity. Beyond traditional print, his poetry has crossed over into the spoken word and broadcast mediums: Spoken Word Album: He recorded an audio poetry release titled Cocaine Sunday, distributed on a 12-inch vinyl LP under the Shoestring label. Copies of this rare pressing occasionally circulate on secondary vinyl markets like Craig Moerer Records By Mail. [1] Radio & Artistry: Historical archives from the Southwest Museum of Engineering, Communications and Computation (SMECC) indicate that a multi-talented artist and poet matching his name served as the News and Public Affairs Director for the KCRJ-FM radio station in Cottonwood, Arizona, starting in early 1981.
