Berrigan's ruminations during a train ride mentioning many friends and much sex. A very fine copy of a a lovely book - the publisher Annabel Lee wrote: "I went to all costs to make the book feel good, to use sensuous materials, I wanted to make some small precious treasure that you would fondle - in comparison with the big bear of a man". Rare, and a favorite title among Berrigan's fans. Fischer p. 54.
