"Born in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1935, Burt Gail Clays, grew up in the mind-expansive deserts and mountains of the Intermountain West as a dyslexic Mormon kid, who, despite his reading disorder, was compelled to telland write downhis stories. He changed his name, moved on to Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Bolinas, Santa Fe, Tucson, and places in between before roads led him back to Idaho and Salt Lake City again. Publishing a Sixties underground literary magazine called Wild Dog that the FBI took notice of, Sky tells a story of all that swirled around the magazine during an eruptive time in America. First published by the poet Ed Dorn in Pocatello in 1963, Sky moved Wild Dog to Salt Lake City and then to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbery district right at the moment of the counter-cultural revolution.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. trade paperback 284 pp. In what appears to be unread condition. There are no markings, creases, folds, or tears to the cover. It is in great shape for a 45-year-old paperback. Don't let the back cover blurb fool you, this is not just another book about someone discovering Buddhism in the great west. It is something other than that, a unique look into a character larger than life with a perspective much like that of the Beats. Part Kerouacian travelogue, part philosophical journey, this book takes the reader into some interesting places, indeed. You meet some astonishing characters like Infinity Cactus, one-quarter Apache wife of Jonquil Rose, the cowboy Buddha, Buddy Sunday, Cody St. Kid, and Golden St. Augustine. An unforgettable book.
