Inscribed by Ted Berrigan to fellow poet Tom Carey on front free endpaper with added nota bene, "Al Kaplan was one of the first of the younger people to recognize that Frank O'Hara & Ashbery et al were the new 'it.' Frank liked his poems + actually, he's quite good. Still is, for that matter, but doesn't have the pushiness of me, Ron, Joe etc, so is neglected."
