The Second Coming Anthology (1 Viewer)

[IanCHHogan]

New book alert! Really treading lightly with a summary of this rare book, knowing many readers likely know more about it than I and, heck, maybe even friends with the author, but here goes. For the shake of brevity, if I get anything wrong please feel free to correct me.

THE SECOND COMING was a zine published/edited by AD Winans from '72 to '89. This was the last issue which collected a range of material found in the previous issues. AD Winans, along with Allen Ginsberg and others, founded Beatitude, another magazine of poetry. He's probably best known for NORTH BEACH POEMS, a fairly well-known Beat era chapbook. The Anthology collects a range of styles rather than being a "best of" collection. I recommend it to fans of Buk's who're looking to expand their horizons

"punished editing" is a form of "extreme editing" due to very poor writing.

i think.

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

There are some of us still lurking around here. Second Coming was a good series. I've got Vol. 2, No. 4&5 and Vol. 5, No. 1, which has 44 pages of Buk. I also have a T-shirt with the cover photo posted by the OP.

I've got that Second Coming Anthology and haven't looked at it since I read it as a new publication. That's the case with many Bukowski publications in my collection.

I'm more interested in the meat poets than rereading Buk these days so stuff like this is like gold ore for me
