Pense Bête
Broodthaers' fourth book of poetry and his last. We have another copy of Pense Bête that bears ample physical evidence of his pivot away from the good-for-nothing endeavor of being a poet toward the more promising enterprise of being a visual artist.
Brussels: Henri Kumps, 1964. French with cut colored-paper collage. Stamped with the thumbprint of the artist on the third page, dedicated "cordially" on the final page, and signed (along with the artist's address) on a sticker attached to the back cover.
