“The Love Book” by Lenore Kandel is a small paperback pamphlet book consisting of four poems produced in 1966. It measures 7 3/8" x 8". When released it provoked censorship with the three-part poem "To Fuck With Love". Police seized the work as being in violation of state obscenity codes from both City Lights Books and The Psychedelic Shop in 1966. Although the publication was banned by many as obscene when it’s read today it is transcendentally illuminating and still stunningly vibrant for its joyous candor optimism and freedom. Lenore Kandel passed away on October 18 2009.
