Ceremonies in Bachelor Space in Bloomington, MN

Russell Edson's debut collection of stories and poems,
Ceremonies in Bachelor Space
, was first published in November 1951 by the now defunct Black Mountain College in North Carolina.
contains 31 odd, surreal poems and short stories by the then 21-year-old Edson that portend the style he would master in his critically-acclaimed prose poetry and novels later in his career. This new edition has been completely reformatted while preserving as much of the original edition's innovative layout and typography as possible.
