King Lord / Queen Freak.

one of 5 copies signed by Ed Sanders and D. A. Levy with a hand-drawn inside cover

King Lord, Queen Freak, a book of Ed Sanders' poetry with two prints by D. A. Levy was printed by Levy at his Renegade Press, dedicated "to the dope-freaks, poets, madmen & mother fuckers of the Lower East Side"

It was one of several titles confiscated by the Cleveland Police Department when they raided Jim Lowell's Asphodel Book Shop on 1 December 1966, arresting both Lowell and D. A. Levy on obscenity charges, which were later dropped. The confiscated books were presumably destroyed.
