Description

Tuli Kupferberg (1923–2010) was a poet, cartoonist, activist, and founding member of The Fugs, the irreverent 1960s countercultural band blending folk, rock, and radical politics. A key figure in New York’s underground literary and music scenes, he published beat-influenced poetry and co-founded Birth magazine, a hub for avant-garde writing.

Kupferberg’s lyrics and performances with The Fugs skewered authority, war, and social hypocrisy with humor and absurdity. A lifelong anarchist and pacifist, he championed free expression and dissent, leaving behind a body of work that fused political satire, surrealism, and a deep commitment to artistic rebellion.

This two-book lot features: Listen to the Mockingbird – a brilliant blend of poetry, political wit, and absurdity, showcasing Kupferberg’s signature rebellious humor; as well as The Book of the Body – an experimental and deeply irreverent exploration of physicality, consciousness, and human absurdity. Both chap books capture the radical energy of the 1960s and 70s underground press movement—a must-have for collectors of Beat literature, counterculture artifacts, or those who just like their poetry with a side of anarchy.

Rare and hard to find together—only one set available!
