About this Item

Magazine. Cover by Jeanne Marlowe. (20)pp. Single sheets printed both sides and secured with two staples. Folded once for mailing with post office cancel, stamp and mailing label, and some wear at the corner, near fine. 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 copy is addressed to poet Robert Duncan, the highly influential Black Mountain teacher, contributor to the San Francisco Renaissance and early gay rights pioneer. This issue features contributions from Ruth Krauss, Alan Marlowe, Ferencz McNaughton, Carl Solomon, Hubert Selby, Jr., Herbert Hucke, Gilbert Sorrentino, Allan Kaprow, James Waring, Alex Katz, Howard Schulman, and Anne Wilson.
