HOLY GRAIL!! Rare 1967 Volume 1, Number 1 & 2 Guerrilla Under Ground Newspaper!

Description: Up for sale is a lot of three extremely rare 1967 Under-Gound Newpapers and one poster insert. The Guerrilla publication was short lived, ONLY TWO VOLUMES WERE PRODUCED, THESE ARE THE HISTORICAL TWO. The second and final issue of the extremely rare radical underground newspaper Guerilla, "a national newspaper of contemporary Culture," edited by Allen Van Newkirk and an editorial team at the Detroit Artists' Workshop Press. A flagship in revolutionary thought, poetry, and news, the newspaper was published during the summer riots in Detroit in 1967 and the height of the Detroit Free Press literary movement. Situated squarely in the window of political possibility inaugurated by 1960s riots, the newspaper featured a star-studded roster, with Ellen Phelan serving as Art Editor, and a list of contributing editors that included Sun Ra, Diane Di Prima, Michael McClure, Stan Brakhage, John Sinclair, Robert Kelly, Marion Brown, David Meltzer, and Joel Oppenheimer. This issue features poetry by Di Prima and Robert Kelly, an essay from Gilbert Sorrentino on avant-rock and another from John Sinclair on Jazz and Bebop, alongside a letter on film by Stan Brakhage, and an epistolary poem to George Büchner by Michael McClure. It also features striking cartoons, illustrations, and photography. While Guerilla billed itself in the first issue as a "monthly" newspaper, this second issue appeared four months late-in the interim the police had assaulted the Guerilla editorial offices, then shared with the Artists' Workshop Press, and arrested the entire editorial staff. By the time the second issue appeared, some of the staff was still pending trial, and co-editor John Sinclair had resigned over an internal dispute about Guerilla's attitude towards hippies. The editorial displays ambivalent and critical feelings regarding the middle-class youth movement. A must have Collection for the serious collector. The papers do have a fold mark and slight small tears along the edges. This is normal wear from 1967 item. All pages are clean and present. Will be shipped insured.
