Very good. <p>Sometimes known locally as Black Friday the September 21 1951 explosion of natural gas in a vault housing gas regulators in the Meadowbrook neighborhood of Brighton NY claimed the lives of two children and an adult while totally destroying 15 homes seriously damaging another 16 and causing damage to another 23 homes in this Rochester NY suburb. Another 38 people were injured. It is believed that a flare lit by workers repairing the sidewalk near the vault touched off a gas leak which through a series of unexpected consequences caused a manhole cover to fly off and strike the regulator's mechanism forcing it fully open. The excessive gas pressure caused pilot lights in nearby homes to shoot up turned on gas furnaces and released gas into the homes. The resulting explosions flattened and damaged homes across several streets.<p>The report concludes with a list of suggestions and practical changes which should be implemented to avoid further such disasters.

Creaseless covers and spine, Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. 61 pages. Back page reads "First Edition". Poet, editor, and translator Ron Padgett was born in 1942 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a high-school student he founded the avant-garde literary journal The White Dove Review with his friends and fellow students Joe Brainard and Dick Gallup. Soliciting and publishing work from poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Robert Creeley, the magazine ran for five issues. Padgett moved to New York City in 1960 to attend Columbia College. Awarded a Fulbright in 1965, Padgett spent a year in Paris studying and translating French poetry. He eventually made his home in New York City?s East Village and became a vital part of the Second Generation New York School Poets, a group that included Ted Berrigan, Brainard, and others. Padgett is the author of over 20 collections of poetry, including Great Balls of Fire (1969, reissued 1990); You Never Know (2001); How to Be Perfect (2007); How Long (2011), a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; and Collected Poems (2013), winner of the L.A. Times Book Prize. He has collaborated with the poet Ted Berrigan and the artists Jim Dine and George Schneeman. Of Padgett?s work, poet David Lehman wrote in Poetry: "The great legacy of French Surrealist and Dadaist writing makes itself felt in his poems."Voice Literary Supplement contributor Karen Volkman, reviewing Padgett?s 1995 New and Selected Poems, commented: This is a fine sampling of a restless, hilarious, and haunting lyric intelligence, a ?phony? whose variable voices form a rare and raucous orchestration: the real thing.
