Beat Scene No. 89 (Spring 2018)

Coventry, England, UK: Beat Scene Press, 2018. First Printing. Stapled Wrappers. This Spring 2018 number of the essential magazine-format literary journal devoted to the Beat Generation edited, published & with contributions by Kevin Ring in the UK features an intensive article by Ring about Allen Ginsberg's residency at a cottage in Berkeley during a crucial period that led to the first reading of "Howl" at the Six Gallery in San Francisco during 1955, exemplary of Beat Scene's focusing on a little-known or -researched chapter in a primary Beat figure's life & work. Also articles, interviews, reviews & excerpts regarding Charles Bukowski (a review by MIchael Kearns of the compilation The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way, edited & with an introduction by our good friend & acclaimed colleague David Stephen Calonne), William S. Burroughs (including a circa 1967 outline for a reinactment of WSB's South American adventures recounted in The Yage Letters by Malcolm Hart which was never filmed), Gregory Corso (an article by our esteemed European Beat Studies Network (ebsn.eu) colleague Kurt Hemmer about his bringing Corso to the University of Connecticut for a reading), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac, Jeff Nuttall & many more. With many delightful vintage photographs & images throughout, including detail of a painting by Danny O'Connor of a young Ginsberg on front cover. Another indispensable feast of an issue from which all Third Minds need to be fed- as the front cover motto always proclaims & fulfills: "This is the Beat Generation." See our many other issues of Beat Scene & other special BSP productions. In very fine condition with only a touch of rubbing, faint scratching to front, back covers & stapled spine; a few tiny bumps, creases at edges & corners of same. Interior very fine with only tiny bumps at corners of a few page leaves. Very Fine. [Item #7539]
