Beat Scene No. 64 (Spring 2011)

Coventry, England, UK: Beat Scene Press, 2011. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. This Spring 2011 number of the magazine-format literary journal devoted to the Beat Generation edited, published & with contributions by Kevin Ring in the UK features a lengthy, wonderfully informative article by Rob Bridgett on the experimental cinematic collaborations of Anthony Balch, William S. Burroughs (the very Patron-Icon of our enterprise) & Brion Gysin. Also in this issue: "Who Was Sinclair Beales?" by Gary Cummiskey, who attempts to capture the life & work of that elusive Beat figure; an insightful interview with primary Beat poet Diane di Prima conducted by Jackson Ellis; "William Everson at Waldport" by Colin Cooper about Everson's (a/k/a Brother Antoninus) internment in Oregon as a conscientious objector during World War II; a deep memoir-critique of premiere Beat poet-environmentalist Gary Snyder by Peter Coyote; an interview with the New York School-&-Beyond iconic poet Anne Waldman conducted by Hadayatullah Hubsch; & yet much more. With, as ever, a robust review section & vintage contemporary images throughout including of Snyder at the Great Outdoors of Italy during 2004 on front cover. Another rich & rewarding issue in the most-collectible series that always upholds its front cover motto: "This is the Beat Generation." In very fine condition with only a hint of rubbing, faint scratching to front, back covers & stapled spine; a few tiny bumps, creases at/from edges & corners of same; staples in process of rusting at middle interior with miniscule bleeding therein. Interior very fine with only tiny bumps, faint creases at corners of some page leaves; minimal staple-rusting noted above. Very Fine. [Item #7188]
