Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Jim Thurber arrived in San Francisco in the early 1960s during the height of the San Francisco Renaissance and enrolled at San Francisco State. He described it as 'a spontaneous gathering of poets from all over America who were writing a kind of new poetry--rebellious, wild, and original.' In 1964 he co-founded an underground magazine and wrote improvised poetry for people on the streets of North Beach. Jim first read his poetry at the landmark Berkeley Poetry Conference in 1965.The themes of Jim's poetry move in several directions. One current celebrates nature, the environment, and wilderness.

1st printing. 11 leaves (printed recto only). Intratextual b/w illustrations and images. 17-1/2" x 11-1/2" "Most of the writers and artists whose work fills out this inaugural edition of Illuminations would not be considered publishable by professional magazines that make up what has elsewhere been called the Establishment. Many have yet to reach thirty. Most do not, I gather, consider themselves Beat. Many are simply acquaintances with whom I read on the weekly series at the Blue Unicorn coffeehouse in San Francisco. Some of you may be dead, not excluding established artists and editors. We are not. We are all growing. We are intensely alive as people, and hopefully as artists." This the first publication of a 1960s poetry and art magazine of a post- "Beat Generation" San Francisco crowd. Modest wear to folder and papers (some rubbing to edges). Withal, a VG+ example. Leaves housed inside stiff printed folder, Color illustrated printed paper title label to front cover. Sheets of blue and beige.…
