THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Sept. 6, 1962

* Edward Estlin - E. E. Cummings death
* American poet - painter - playwright - author

The front page has a heading: "E. E. Cummings, 1894-1962" with photo showing Cummings standing in front of his home on Patchin Place. (see images) Report continues on a inside page.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete in 16 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.

Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
