Scope and Contents

The silkscreened green cover was designed by Beorna. According to Water Row Books, Long Dongs is the "holy grail" for Blazek or Richmond collectors. Published in an edition of only 300 copies by mimeograph machine on various colored paper stock. In Water Row's opinion, Long Dongs is one of the two most important books to come out of the Cleveland mimeo poetry revolution of the sixties, the other one being Bukowski's Genius of the Crowd. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
