A wide-ranging, sometimes surreal poem of human activity, our place in the universe, the future, and the Cyclops that translates it all for humanity. "Cyclops" is a metaphor for the "eye" logo of CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the poem was written for the 50th anniversary of the company. An excerpt of a televised walk in space and a walk on the moon: "No eye has roved like the video eye / Away and beyond the reach of earth / Out to the moon and onto it / Footprints in the primordial dust, umbilical walks in the deeps of space, / Sprayed on the tube in front of the chair or up on the wall in the bedroom."

A bit of a wave to the text block. Top edges of covers are sunned. The review slip is worn at the edges.; An uncorrected proof copy of an "unusual" Grove Press book that begins in the middle of a sentence on page 7, this is a sarcastic, trashy, comic, vulgar, grotesque, and nonsensical work of humor that pushes a bit past the label of erotica.
