About this Item

"The Journal for the Protection of All Beings was one of the first radical ecology journals. The brainchild of Michael McClure and David Meltzer, it melded the anarchist thought of the 1950s (The Ark) with the pacifism evidenced in the very early journal The Illiterati, published in the late 1940s by Kermit Sheets and Kemper Nomland at the camp for conscientious objectors in Waldport, Oregon. The newest element in the mix was work from the San Francisco Renaissance poets. The first issue led off with Thomas Merton?s ?Chant to be used in procession around a site with furnaces? and included work by all three editors as well as an interview with Allen Ginsberg by Gregory Corso, an interview with Ginsberg and Corso by William S. Burroughs, and Gary Snyder?s ?Buddhist Anarchism.? This issue also reprinted two famous documents, Percy Bysshe Shelley?s ?Declaration of Rights? and the famous statement by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians." Ref.
