Meditations by John Sinclair (signed)

Meditations: A Suite for John Coltrane is a chapbook of poems by John Sinclair first published in 1967 by the Detroit Artists Workshop Press. This facsimile limited edition is published in 500 copies for the Book Beat in honor of the 40th anniversary of the books publication and as a memorial for the 40th anniversary of John Coltrane’s passing. Two excellent first edition copies from the libraries of Rob Tyner and James Semark were used in putting together this edition. The original inside orchid pages were matched as well as the rich purple cardstock covers. A new portrait photograph of the author by Leni Sinclair was substituted for this edition. It features Sinclair in a handmade Mu-Mu during the Belle-Isle Love-in of 1967, sporting a “Psychedelic Ranger” button. King of the Hippies! The back cover photograph features John Coltrane meeting the author in 1966 also taken by Leni Sinclair.

A fine copy signed by the author. 8.5” x 7” Book Beat gallery, 2004 [f3.5 rbr]
