The cover photograph was taken by Max Roach. At the time of this poem, Julie was Julie Weisberg, a 15 year old Clevelnd Heights acquaintance of d.a. levy.The following is an excerpt from Cleveland Magazine.com in November 2007 about JUlie Weisberg: "Authorities never said exactly which literature prompted levy and Lowell's indictments. But police arrested levy again in late March, confiscated his mimeograph and charged him with five counts of tending to contribute to the delinquency of minors. The charges could have sent levy to prison for up to five years. He was indicted for publishing the 17-year-old Friedman's "Black Revolt" in his anthology "465"; giving a copy of the book to Julie Weisberg, a 15-year-old Cleveland Heights girl; and reading the poem to a Gate audience that included the two teens. "465" was made up of youthful literary experiments of mixed quality "” a delicate poem about two lovers, an overwritten but vivid scene at Adele's Bar, Vietnam War protests, a eulogy for the dying Euclid Beach Park "” but to cops looking for smut, it had plenty to offend: sexual passages ranging from romantic to crude, four-letter words, levy writing about rolling a joint. Weisberg, 56, now a historic home renovator and caterer in Georgia, says she got to know levy at the Asphodel and thought of him as a mentor. "He really got me fired up about the English language "” how to connect your emotions and your brain to the world in words." She says levy never talked to her about drugs "” and she never knew that prosecutors charged him with endangering her morals through poems. "What they did was tragic," she says. "On the other hand, they were only mortal. They didn't have the grace to see someone ahead of his time." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
