"In the direct line of Grey, of Sheringham, of Walton, it is a book imbued with the very spirit of angling: here is tranquillity and the pleasant, peaceful brooding of the coarse-fisher as he watches his float; here, too, is excitement and the keen thrill of the fly-fisher as he casts to the rise; here is the welcome solitude and quiet of trees and river bank and strea, and companionship of the birds and beasts of the water." - from dust-jacket blurb.

Seller: PONCE A TIME BOOKS, SANTA BARBARA, CA, U.S.A.PONCE A TIME BOOKS
Contact seller4-star seller0 Includes illustrations. From Zine Wiki: The Floating Bear was a newsletter that ran from 1961 to 1971, edited in New York, NY, U.S.A., first by Diane di Prima and Leroi Jones and then later, by issue 25, by Diane alone. Published nearly every month and distributed by mailing list only, it was a fantastic platform for several s…chools of writing to come together, including the Beat writers, the New York School, Black Mountain and other revolutionary writers of that time. Later, after issue 28, when di Prima relocated to Topanga, CA, it featured some of the San Francisco Renaissance writers. This weighty carrier of words held the works of Frank O Hara, Michael McClure, Ed Dorn, Charles Olson, Joel Oppenheimer, Diane Levertov, Phillp Whalen, Jack Spicer, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, William S. Burroughs, John Wieners and both the editors, plus many more. It was never sold and supported by the editors and donations. The people who received copies were considered part of a literary and creative community, all of them kindred spirits. It was a great tool of the times as this mimeographed newsletter would reach a few hundred people every few weeks. So, if your work was showcased, it was read and quick. 37 issues were printed. The last issue printed as 'The Intrepid-Bear Issue' (Intrepid no 20/ Floating Bear no 38. ) LeRoi Jones was arrested for homoerotic content of his play Dante's System of Hell in Issue 9. You can find a great deal about this publication in a few Diane di Prima s novels and writings. Very good. fold in the middle as this was mailed to recipients. mild toning.
