Many have yet to reach thirty. Most do not I gather consider themselves Beat. Many are simply acquaintances with whom I read on the weekly series at the Blue Unicorn coffeehouse in San Francisco. Some of you may be dead not excluding established artists and editors. We are not. We are all growing. We are intensely alive as people and hopefully as artists." This the first publication of a 1960s poetry and art magazine of a post- "Beat Generation" San Francisco crowd. Illuminations Press unknown books
