Of Sugar Mountain Lewis Warsh has written, "Tom Clark and I edited the one-shot magazine Sugar Mountain in the spring of 1970. We were both living in Bolinas, California....Suddenly there was a poetry community....and Sugar Mountain reflects the beginning of it all. It was a kind of miracle for so many poets of different stripes (Black Mountain, Beat Generation, New York School, San Francisco Renaissance) to interact and collaborate on a daily level, dissolving the borders between life and poetry, and much of it had to do with the magic of Bolinas, situated on a fragile cliff overlooking the Pacific with the lights of San Francisco blinking in the distance....but by the end of the 1970s many of the poets had moved away." (Warsh, From a Secret Location, January 2017).
