Poetry. Piero Heliczer was a seminal figure in sixties underground culture in NYC, London and Paris. He authored several poetry books including & I Dreamt I Shot Arrows In My Amazon Bra and The First Battle of the Marne. This volume, edited by longtime friends and collaborators Gerard Malanga and Anselm Hollo, brings back into print all of his published poetry and is supplemented with an illustrated biographical interview with Heliczer's half-sister Marisabina Russo-Stark. "That the poems have survived their brief public appearances in fugitive magazines and (long out-of-print) books to gather in this welcome and long-overdue collection is sufficient tribute to their strength" - Tom Raworth.
