1972133104Austin TX: Pyramid Publishing Company 1972. First Edition. First Edition. SIGNED by Roky Erickson on the front flyleaf. With the original circular red "Autographed Copy" sticker affixed to the front board. <br/><br/>A book of poems written by Erickson legendary singer and songwriter for the 13th Floor Elevators during his stay at the Rusk Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Rusk Texas. The only physical evidence of his creative endeavors made between electroconvulsive shock therapy treatments which included the formation of a band with fellow inmates called The Missing Links and reportedly writing nearly 100 songs. <br/><br/>Working with his childhood friend George Kinney Erickson published this volume while still institutionalized. A collection of 45 poems nearly all of which are extremely positive and upbeat "Let's Have a Never-Ending Love Contest" "When You Get Delighted" and "Thank God for Civilization" are a few examples. Outside of anthologies perhaps the only volume of poetry ever published with the poems arranged in alphabetical order. <br/><br/>Erickson would take a different turn upon his release forming a hard rock band called Roky Erickson and the Aliens writing almost exclusively about Satanism and riffing on classic horror films. Toward the end of the 1970s he again went into a long period of mental decline and has only recently begun to perform again. A rare title nearly impossible to find with a contemporary signature. <br/><br/>A second collection titled "Openers II" containing Erickson's song lyrics essays and interviews was published 23 years later in 1995. <br/><br/>Very Good plus in moderately soiled white cloth-covered boards a gilt peace/cross symbol design on the front board gilt spine titles and no dust jacket as issued.
