The Galilee Hitch-Hiker by Richard Brautigan

The Galilee Hitch-Hiker was Richard Brautigan's second collection of poetry and was published by White Rabbit Press in 1958.  The 200 hand-sewn editions were sold by Brautigan directly to pedestrians on the street and by City Lights Bookstore (run by City Lights Press, founded by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti).  The collection was reissued by Cranium Press, with a print run of 700 in 1966.  Brautigan signed sixteen copies of the re-released book.

The book consists of one poem divided into nine subtitled sections.  The Galilee Hitch-Hiker was reprinted in Brautigan's The Pill Versus the Springhill Mining Disaster.
