New York: Poetry Project, No Date. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. Very tall side-stapled wrappers. Cover art by Emilio Schneeman. Fifth issue of this important small press poetry journal edited by Maureen Owen and featuring a bevy of generational New York School poets including Rochelle Ratner, Tony Towle, Anne Waldman, Lewis Warsh, Michael Brownstein and David Moe just to name a few. Published on tall stapled mimeo and printed on rectos only. Along with The World, also published out of the Poetry Project at St. Marks Church in the Bowery, these magazines provided an important and consistent forum for these poets and artists. Very good copy. A small blemish to the front cover. Early issues of Telephone have become quite dear. (Inventory #: 28465)
