Poetry Flash No. 115
San Francisco: Poetry Flash, 1982. 4to, 12 pp, saddle-stapled wraps.
Single issue of the longrunning periodical devoted not only to information about the west coast poetry scenes, but also lots of opiniated coverage of readings, critical articles, photographs and even poems- a whole strata of information that is not published elsewhere. Worth the price of admission for the pithy reviews alone, and for the remarkably indepth criticism of readings - a rare feature for a poetry magazine of the time, and a rich resource of anecdote and histories of the smaller moments of the west coast poetry scene.
This issue includes a half page review of the Taylor Mead Show at La Mammelle Gallery by Steve Abbott, a great review - also, Susan Reichman on the Poetry for the People organization, and Gerald Nicosia on Neeli Cherkovski's Love Proof, etc.
Near fine with some light toning to extremities. Item #29668
Price: $25.00
