Beatitude Number 17 by Beats - Allen Ginsberg, David Meltzer, Bob Kaufman, Philip Whalen, Jack Spicer et al - 1960

San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1960. First edition. Paperback. Very Good +. Stapled 4to. The seventeeth issue of this small press poetry magazine dedicated to the San Francisco Beat Poetry Movement. Unnumbered pages printed on rectos only. Cover photograph by Clementi. All of the contributors to this issue have been given humorous fake names (e.g. Allen Ginsberg is listed as Ellen Ginsboig; Jack Spicer as Jack Slicer etc). Toning to cover edges, else a sharp, clean near fine example. All early issues of this magazine have become dear.
