Bean News
[San Francisco]: [Zephyrus Image], 1972. First edition. [8] pp. Folded sheets, bible paper issue. Folded twice; fine copy. Johnston notes, “While it looks like a newspaper, Bean News is full of in-jokes that are hard to decipher…” The Zephyrus Image archives at the University of Delaware: Bean News is “an unconventional newspaper that combined letters, articles, poems, puns, and rebuses while experimenting in art, typography, and layout. Poets Ed Dorn, Tom Raworth, Tom Clark, Jeremy Prynne, Michael McClure, Luis Garcia, and others submitted copy, and Bean News became an item of intrigue in the San Francisco small press community.”
