Measure (1957-1962) - John Wieners


"... So impressed with the elder poet, Wieners spent a year at Black Mountain College studying with Olson and Robert Duncan. In 1957, while working with the Poet’s Theater in Cambridge, he edited the first issue of Measure. By 1958 Wieners moved to San Francisco where no. 2 was published. Subtitled 'Magic,' contributors include: Michael Rumaker, Robin Blaser, Robert Creeley, Jack Kerouac, Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Edward Dorn, Stuart Z. Perkoff, V.R. (Bunny) Lang (one of the founders of the Poet’s Theater in Cambridge), Gregory Corso, James Broughton, Michael McClure, Richard Duerden and Stephen Jonas. By no. 3 (1962), Wieners was back in Milton where he published work by James Schuyler, Barbara Guest, Helen Adam, Madeline Gleason, Jack Spicer, Larry Eigner, John Haines and others, including Gerrit Lansing who was living in Gloucester."
