Corman, Cid. from A Short Guide to Human Being. 18 poems. Longhouse, 2007. First edition. In Nepalese decorative cover stock with three color fold out text. A SHORT GUIDE TO HUMAN BEING is a collection of poems composed/revised mainly in the mid90s by Cid Corman culling work from earlier times (70s-80s-90s) and shaping a book of well over 200 finished poems. While reading & gathering extensively over the winter of 2007 for Cid's proposed 'selected poems' (with Ce Rosenow), I came upon this manuscript and started to sift eagerly. The bulk of loose pages jammed just barely into its tight binder. A rejection letter from Farrar, Straus & Giroux pinned in with it all. This is but a portion of what they rejected. - Bob Arnold (literary executor for Cid Corman). Poetry. $12.95

Each volume [Volume One, Volume Two and Volume Three] has 750 poems per volume. Beautifully produced. The author's life was dedicated to poetry - even as poetry is dedicated to life. Cid Corman's reputation as translator is well known in a dozen other languages and his work is in Special Collections at many key libraries in USA and in Canada. There are recordings and videos of his work and performance at Harvard University and the Library of Congress as well as elsewhere.
