Publication details: [Lurley, Devon:] Gehenna Press,1982,
Rare Book
From Baskin's renowned Gehenna Press, the name derived from a line in the first Book of Dante's Paradise Lost, 'And black Gehenna call'd, the type of Hell', the dark text by the Press' editor, in perfect accord with the nature of the images. The ominous words for the final letter are particularly apocalyptic: 'Zounds! The facist strews his epileptic ticks: From A to Z, beward his bloodsy sticks.'
