Softcover. Etat : Near Fine. Magazine. (12)pp. Single sheets printed both sides and secured with a staple. Folded once for mailing with post office cancel, stamp and mailing label, near fine. An influential mimeograph published by Jones and di Prima 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 W.S. Merwin, the two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the 17th U.S. Poet Laureate. He is maybe best known for a series of antiwar poems about Vietnam and his famous feud with W.H. Auden. The issue features contributions from di Prima, Frank O'Hara, Charles Olson, Norman Solomon, Peter Orlovsky, and Allen Ginsberg.
