San Francisco Review No. 2 (Spring 1959)
Literary Magazine | San Francisco Renaissance
Publisher: San Francisco Review
Date: Spring 1959
Format: Softcover literary magazine
Price on cover: One Dollar
Condition: Very Good
Light surface wear and scuffing to wraps
Spine sound, binding tight
Interior clean and well-preserved
No markings or writing noted
An early and important issue of San Francisco Review, a key West Coast literary magazine associated with the San Francisco Renaissance and Beat-adjacent circles. This Spring 1959 issue features a remarkable lineup of poets and writers who would go on to define postwar American literature.
Contributors include Richard Brautigan, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Spicer, William Saroyan, Kenneth Rexroth, Guy Daniels, James Broughton, Norman Thomas, Albert N. Podell, and many others. Brautigan appears here early in his career, making this issue of particular interest to collectors of Beat and countercultural literature.
A strong artifact of mid-century small-press publishing, reflecting the experimental, regional, and literary ferment of San Francisco in the late 1950s.
