The second issue of this important literary and art journal with contributions by Charles Olson, Irving Layton, Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Creeley, Paul Blackburn, Toda Tomoya, Irving Layton, Douglas Woolf, Kizu Toyotaro, Lucy Lapp, and Ronald Mason.

With these journals they aimed to generate an understanding of the emerging poets of the generation and to attract some attention to the college itself. It spanned just 7 volumes, running from 1954-1957. A few of this issue's features include Antonin Artaud, Toda Tomoya, and reproductions of Mayan Sculpture. The cover was designed by Japanese artist and poet Katue Kitasono. In Very Good condition with some age toning and foxing to the covers and bumping and wear to spine ends.
