[BUKOWSKI, Charles (1920?1994)]. ?? RICHMOND, Steve (1941?2009). The Earth Rose 1: FUCK HATE. Santa Monica: Earth Rose, 1966. 5 unused broadside sheets (printed on recto and verso), oblong folio (432 x 559 mm). EACH SIGNED BY STEVE RICHMOND, including one inscribed with the notation: ?10,000 printed, 12 folks arrested, not guilty?. Originally distributed for the Earth Books book shop in Santa Monica as an anti?Vietnam publication, ten street sellers were arrested for distributing of an obscene publication, leading to Richmond?s arrest and seizure of stock, including other Bukowski titles. The legal case took four years to conclude with an acquittal (See Kurt von Meier?s testimony at the Obscenity Trial, 1968). Includes Bukowski?s poem ?Freedom? and ?True Story? as well as contributions by Richmond and John Buckner.
