Bradbury, Ray

Publication: Baltimore, MD: Cemetery Dance, 2001. First Edition.

Notes: Three versions of this Bradbury miscellany, including a "digital blueline" in folded signatures, signed by Bradbury; an uncorrected proof signed by Bradbury; and an inscribed trade issue, "Celia! Tom! Onward! Love! Ray Bradbury. Jul 3, 2001."

"Being a compilation of poems, verse, burial orations, essays, story fragments, notions, fancies and concepts having to do with the Cosmos, the Universe, visitations, annunciations, first and last suppers, early Sabbaths, communions, bar mitzvahs, father and son banquets that stretch from here to infinity to try parson, preacher, priest and rabbinical souls. More: to wake sleepers, shorten Sundays, and re-invigorate truths once lost but now gladly refound. All in the name of sanity during an endless year of exhausted creativity."

192 pages.
