THE PHOENIX A QUARTERLY by Phoenix - 1938

Woodstock, NY: The Maverick Press, 1938. Volume one, numbers one through three. Bound up in roughly contemporary gilt blue buckram, original wrappers bound in. Spine quite bleached from humidity, internally fine. Although unmarked, from the library of poet/publisher James Laughlin, Miller's, and some of the contributors' principal U.S. publisher of the time, with a pencil comment in his hand on the upper wrapper of the first number. Edited by J.P. Cooney, with Henry Miller serving as the European editor for the first two issues. An interesting periodical, for the interrelations of some of its contributors, its strong opposition to WWII, and for its devotion to the world-view of D.H. Lawrence. Contributors to these numbers include Lawrence (posthumously), Miller, Fraenkel, Nin, Everson, Kay Boyle, et al. HOFFMAN, et al, p.342.
