FAINLIGHT, Harry. Sussicran. London: Turret Books. 1965.

8vo. Original cream card wrappers with author and title in silver to upper cover; printed on stiff blue paper; pp. [ii], 3-12; fine.

First limited edition of Harry Fainlight's only lifetime book publication Sussicran ('Narcissus' spelled backwards): one of 150 copies signed by the author, and number 22 in the Turret Booklet series.

The British-American writer Harry Fainlight (1935-1982) lived in London in 1965 and rose to fame by participating in the celebrated Royal Albert Hall Beatnik poetry slam of 1965, the International Poetry Incarnation, initiated and headed by Allen Ginsberg. Here Fainlight would read the trippy and disturbing epic The Spider, an LSD-induced text, which was interrupted by a Dutch writer, high on Mescaline, shouting "Love, Love!", an event which disturbed the poet deeply.

Fainlight, a heavy drug user, who purportedly once slept with William S. Boroughs, was described by Allen Ginsberg as "the most gifted English poet of his generation". He was befriended by Ted Hughes (who wrote a poem about him in 1983) and Sylvia Plath; his sister was another Beat poet, Ruth Fainlight. In 1964 he contributed to Ed Sanders' Fuck You and in 1966 he participated in launching the International Times from the basement of Indica Bookshop. Turret Books, a hub for avantgarde poetry, was founded by Bernard Stone, a friend of Alan Silitoe and the cartoonist, book and record cover designer Ralph Steadman.

Dog loved it.
Style: Frog
Dog loved it, squeaker lasted about 5 minutes, which is about normal for any toy I’ve given her.

Frustrating and Not Durable
Style: Turtle
My Foxhound /Beagle mix had this toy torn in several places within minutes. He loves his toys, but this one seemed to frustrate him and me. The small slits are too tight for anything but kibble. The large pouch is too deep for treats, and would send kibble flying as soon as he shook it. Anything larger would get stuck! The pouch tore at the seams as soon as my dog tried to pull out a Milkbone. Only small treats would fit in the slits, and he’d lose interest with them. The squeaker was useless due to the large size and hardness of the head. The weight and size of the head and the length of the toy might be a problem for smaller dogs. This toy was returned.

GSP Approved!
Style: Frog
Our GSP loves this! It's only keeps her busy for a few minutes, but then she carries around for an hour. The pockets are a great size for training treats and the Velcro has held up well despite repeated daily use!

Get the turtle. Your pup will love it!
Style: Turtle
Both my small 15lb terrier mixes love this toy. I need to get another one because they won't share it. It keeps them busy for a good hour. They have tons of toys and this is by far the best. Only down side is the pups chewed the flaps off the pockets where you hide the treats the first use.
