The book consists of the author's collection Blues for a Crazy Girl (most of the lyrics were written before his military service) and alphabetically arranged other poems and song lyrics from throughout his creative period. The artwork of this edition is accompanied by photographs of Pavel Baňka, who together with Václav Hrabět, Vladimíra Čerepková and Inka Machulková performed in 1964 at the textappel evenings in Prague's Viola.
At the end of the 1950s, in the golden age of the Reduta, Václav Hrabě (1940-1965) also came to Prague. After the wave of free jazz, the non-conformist world of young people was hit by the Beat Generation at the beginning of the 1960s. Corso, Ferlinghetti, Kerouac and especially Ginsberg influenced many young people and soon beatnik poetry appeared in our country as well. Hrabět's verses are the most characteristic of this time.
