Between the Covers

Softcover. Magazine. Cover by George Herms. (20)pp. Single sheets printed both sides and secured with two staples. Scattered tiny spots on along the right edge of the front wrap, 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 is is remarkably pristine with no writing, stamp or label. Contributions from Robert Grosseteste, James Waring, Julian Beck, John Thomas, Frank O'Hara, Gerard Malanga, John Herbert McDowell, Gilbert Sorrentino and Fielding Dawson.
