Description:
Winter 1965/66. 4to. Stab-stapled. [x], [100pp.]. Cover by Magdalene Sinclair.

The issue includes a homage to Rainer Maria Gerhardt edited by Tom Raworth, anthologising work by Gerhardt (translated by Cid Corman, Magdalene Sinclair, and Anselm Hollo) alongside contributions by Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Jonathan Williams, Hollo, and Ernst Robert Curtius, plus 2pp. of related photographs. This tribute was originally scheduled for issue 3 of Raworth's 'Outburst'.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Magazine. Cover by John Dana, Charles Moore, and Stanley Cowell. Quarto. Stapled red printed wrappers. 98pp. A bit of toning to the pages, else fine. A magazine edited by Sixties poet and radical, John Sinclair, co-founder of the White Panthers Party, and one-time manager of the band MC5.

His incarceration lead to a host of protests, most notably Allen Ginsberg, who rushed the stage during The Who's Woodstock performance to plead Sinclair's case, and John Lennon, who recorded the song "John Sinclair" on his album, *Some Time in New York City*. Among the contributors are Robert Creeley, Jonathan Williams, Charles Olson, Anselm Hollo, Ernst Robert Curtius, Reiner M. Gerhardt, Ed Roberson, David Federman, Steve Jonas, Allen Van Newkirk, George Tysh, J.D.
