One poem, written contemporaneously with those in the first edition, has now been included in \u003cem\u003eNew Work 1971 Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e. None of the poems have been revised or changed in any way. Not all of the poems were titled in the first edition, and the author has given one a title which it did not have. The first edition contained several original pen-and-ink drawings which have not been included in the revisited edition. The cover of the first edition appears as the frontispiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mimeograph machine was an early version of a copy machine, often used by college professors to prepare class handouts. It involved preparing the document, commonly by typing the document on a special master that used a sheet of special carbon paper to transfer the impressions. There was no way to make corrections to a master that wouldn't appear in the transferred document. The prepared master was attached to a large drum on the mimeograph and, by turning a handle, would rotate and print, in purple, its contents on a sheet of standard 8-1\/2x11\" paper. It was an arduous process, one in which no mistakes could be tolerated, and production was slow. Using mimeo to lay out a book in paginated sequence and print even a 20-page chapbook was also a labor of love. Only one copy of the original \u003cem\u003eNew Work 1971\u003c\/em\u003e is known to exist and, in the hands of its author, made it possible to create this new edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 8.75 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 02, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51776301924640,"sku":"9798987442128","price":12.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/fd199c87ee6e9247f544ffb60aebfa5c.webp?v=1780476564","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/new-work-1971-revisited-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
