About this Item

Magazine. Cover by Paolo Lionni. [36]pp. Single sheets printed both sides and secured with two staples. The paper makes this issue particularly susceptible to toning. Very good with lower staple pull, typical toning, tiny nicks and tears, and a few small stains, without mailing address or stamps. An influential mimeograph created by di Prima and LeRoi Jones featuring some of the most important poets of the 20th Century. Unlike other magazines, this so-called "newsletter" was distributed via a mailing list, many of which were noted poets, journalists, critics, publishers and artists. For this reason, most copies were hand addressed or affixed with a mailing label and stamp, and folded for mailing. This issue guest edited by John Wieners and features contributions from di Prima, Jack Spicer, B. O'Driscoll, Sanders Russell, Philip Lamantia, John Reed, Kirby Doyle, David Rattray, Edward Freeman, David Posner, Allen De Loach, Bob Hartman, Robert Grenier, Charles Doria, Stephen Jonas, Alan Marlowe, Irving Rosenthal, Lewis Lipschitz, Howard Schulman, Elizabeth Sutherland, Joan Gilbert, Jeanne Phillips, Jan Balas, Shreela Ray, Shiela Plant, Madeline Davis, and Janine Pommey.
