Bob Kaufman’s Abomunist Manifesto

A couple of places read, seventy years later, as problematic, but overall the work holds up surprisingly well and remains sadly relevant.

Some links of potential interest:

• The scan of the first City Lights edition

• A PDF of a reset edition (with at least one typo).

• The Academy of American Poets’ page for the opening statement/poem.

• ModPo discussion (Al Filreis with Ken Taylor and Sophia DuRose).
