The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster is Richard Brautigan`s seventh poetry publication. A limited, signed, hard cover edition of fifty copies was issued simultaneously with the soft cover version of the first edition.

The collection of ninety-eight poems includes thirty-eight that were previously uncollected. The rest were gathered from five of Brautigan`s previous poetry publications. In some cases, all of the poems from an earlier book were included in this volume.

The title poem uses just four lines to draw a parallel between the 1958 Springhill mining disaster in Springhill, Nova Scotia, and the use by the author`s lover of birth control pills.

When you take your pill
it`s like a mine disaster.
I think of all the people
lost inside of you.
