Event Vol. 2 No. 1 (1972)

Westminster, B.C., Canada: Douglas College, 1972. First Edition. Offered today an incredibly rare issue of the legendary, if not underappreciated, literary Magazine event: 2/1. From event’s website: “For 50 years, event has published the very best in contemporary new poetry and prose. We are one of Western Canada’s longest-running literary magazines, and welcome submissions written in English from around the world. Each issue of event includes high quality fiction, poetry, non-fiction and book reviews, and we feature emerging and established writers side-by-side in our pages.” This particular issue features: “Swecca” by Diane Ackerman; two poems by the great American author described by some as “the poet laureate of American Lowlife,” widely considered one of the finest poets America has ever produced, Charles Bukowski (1920–1994) with points in Debritto, B715, pg 241.; “And Go to Innisfree” by Basil Burwell; “Recitative” by Charles Reznikoff (1894-1976) American poet legend; and “A Riddle for Children” by Jacob Zilber, poet and editor of Prism International magazine–these are just a few of the incredible contributions offered in this issue! Softcover. First edition though not explicated as such, presumed first and only printing though similarly not explicated. In very fine condition with only the slightest wear to fine edges. Very Fine.
