HITCHCOCK, George [Ed.]
George Hitchcock - Kayak 17
San Francisco, Kayak, 1969. 22 x 16.5 cm. 72 pp. Stapled wrappers. Illustrated. - George Parks Hitchcock (1914-2010) - American actor, poet, playwright, teacher, labor activist, publisher, and painter - is best known for creating Kayak, a poetry magazine that he published as a one-man operation from 1964 to 1984. - 'The style as well as the contents of kayak reflected the man. The magazine was filled with melodramatic engravings and illustrations clipped from nineteenth century books and magazines. Several of these were usually joined in a collage and carried a witty line or two of dialogue or commentary, which ironically commented on the illustration, or had some wittily incisive parallel to current events. - The selection of work alternated between surrealist, deep image, or political poems, or all three at once.' [Morton Marcus]. - Good copy
