Kayak (Magazine) Complete Run of 64 Issues
San Francisco: Kayak, 1964 - 1984. First edition. Paperback. Sold here as a set is the complete run of 64 issues of Kayak Magazine edited by George Hitchcock. Some issues with corner staining, but overall a very good set with some light handling wear and soiling for occasional issues. Beginning in 1964 and running through 1984, this magazine provided opportunities for contributions variously by W. S. Merwin, Paul Blackburn, Douglas Blazek, Robin Magowan, Howard McCord, Stephen Dobyns, Rene Char, Carol Berge, Paul Eluard, Hayden Carruth, Charles Baxter, Yusef Komunyakaa, Charles Smic, Raymond Carver, Everette Maddox, Sharon Olds, Ursula Hegi, M. R. Doty, John Haines, Jack Gilbert, James Tate, William Everson, Michael McClure, Robert Bly, and Philip Levine just to name a small handful. Hitchcock managed to publish this twenty year project all on his own and went on to publish separate poetry books under the Kayak imprint by Carver, Simic and others. While individual issues do appear in the marketplace, a complete run is most difficult to assemble. Please inquire in advance regarding shipping charges. Very Good. Item #34018
