Sold

Unbound. Approximately 5.75" x 4" postcard sent from Athens, Greece in 1961 to Diane di Prima in New York City. Tiny tack holes in the corners, else just about fine. A closely written postcard in which Ginsberg asks di Prima to have Jose Anumarel contact him about business, and then states: "I'm wandering now thru Delphi, Mycenae, & this week to Crete for a few weeks walking along on country roads with shepherds. Delphi great, climbed over shoulder of Mt. Parnassus to a cave of all uses & idyllic valley, walked all day smoking pipefuls of Ganja. Peter has gone on alone to Istanbul. I'll read in Mt. Athos for a month. Love, as ever – Allen."
