This number of the literary-arts journal published by Arizona State University & chiefly edited by Salima Keegan features reproductions of two hand-captioned photographs by Allen Ginsberg, with images of LSD Guru Timothy Leary in the company of Beat Generation Muse Neal Cassady on the legendary "Further" bus (1964); & of Gregory Corso addressing a statue of Christ on the Cross (1986, pgs. 6-7). These reproductions are excerpts from the Allen Ginsberg Photographs portfolio volume of 1990.
