The Blue Guitar Vol. 2 No. 1 edited by Rick Kearns (date unknown)


 The Blue Guitar Vol. 2 No. 1

Rick Kearns, editor

Harrisburg, PA

(date unknown)

This a a glimpse at a journal in transition. The editor wasn't throwing in the towel but also wasn't committing all his energy in making this guitar play either. I got it because I am familiar with a number of the poets whose work in included in this "crossroads" issue. Lamont Steptoe, Aaron Yeatts Perry, Barbara Crooker, Martin Espada, Jack Veasey among them. 

A journal like this is a time capsule showing a melding of Philadelphia with poets from Central and Eastern PA in one staple-bound booklet. A treasure indeed.
