Zephyrus Image: A Bibliography

by Alastair Johnston

Cultural Writing. This bibliography tells the story of ZEPHYRUS IMAGE, a Northern California press operated through the nineteen-seventies that was the brainchild of Holbrook Teter and Michael Myers. With their own idiosyncratic methods they produced subversive, anarchic works of great wit and elegance that lampooned the foolish. Poets Ed Dorn and Tom Raworth were strongly allied with them, and they published a varied and eclectic range of work from such authors as Robert Creely, Joanne Kyger, Fielding Dawson, Robert Bly, Lucia Berlin, Gary Snyder, Stan Brakhage and William T. Wiley.

This isn't a bibliography in the classic sense, but it does use the works of people connected to Zephyrus Image to frame and guide the telling of the story. It is entirely possible to read this book straight through, for pleasure, and enjoy the story. This is actually how I read it, and my attention was captivated throughout. I doubt that there are many bibliographies for which this is true, so I was happy to have found this book for section 015 of my Dewey Decimal Challenge.
