June 30th, June 30th
First published 11 August 1978, June 30th, June 30th, a collection of seventy-seven poems, was Brautigan’s eighth collection of poetry; his tenth poetry book publication, and the last to be published before his death.
These poems, dated from 13 May-30 June 1976, form a poetic travel diary of Brautigan’s relationship with Japan, which he first visited during this time period. The form of this book follows the Japanese tradition of haibun, a collection of haiku gathered into a story line. The book was largely ignored by critics.
Lay the Marble Tea
First published in 1959, Lay the Marble Tea, a collection of twenty-four poems, was Brautigan’s first published collection of poetry; his third poetry book publication. Where most of Brautigan’s later poetry was written in the first person, this collection offered a variety of historical and literary narrators. These poems, as did most of his subsequent work, blurred the boundaries between poetry and prose. Nine of the poems in this book were collected and reprinted in The Pill versus The Springhill Mine Disaster.
Loading Mercury With a Pitchfork
First published 1976, Loading Mercury with a Pitchfork, a collection of ninety-four poems, was Brautigan’s seventh collection of poetry; his ninth poetry book publication.
This collection was unique in that the poems were grouped in eight titled sections and featured the crow as a dominant figure throughout.
