I just finished scanning Leslie's early chapbooks, and they can be read/downloaded now at her EPC homepage!
The following are available as full-color high rez PDFs:
O and Other Poems
(Berkeley: Sand Dollar, 1976)
The Woman Who Could Read the Minds of Dogs
(Berkeley: Sand Dollar,1976)
Instead of an Animal, drawings by Diane Sophia (Leslie's sister!)
(Cloud Maruder Press, 1978)
This eating and walking at the same time is associated all right
(Bolinas: Tombouctou, 1979)
These crucial documents capture the visual element that was lost entirely with the North Point publication of Leslie's "first book" Considering how exaggerated music is.
Next up: additional rare print objects and ephemera including Leslie's ABACUS appearance "clarinet part I once heard" (which, to my knowledge, never appeared elsewhere) and broadsides she designed and printed herself with the help of Alastair Johnston and co.
Thanks for posting these, yes, heard they were uploaded. Stimulus overload.
