The Yage Letters - The Yage Letters Redux

The Yage Letters Redux

In April 2006, City Lights Books published Yage Letters Redux, a new edition of the book edited by Oliver Harris (who has previously edited other collections of correspondence by Burroughs). The book has been expanded with an extensive essay on its history (written by Harris), along with previously unpublished material by Burroughs and Ginsberg.

Famous quotes containing the word letters:

    “There are other letters for the child to learn than those which Cadmus invented. The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knolwedge, Grammatica parda, tawny grammar, a kind of mother-wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
