Note
Rare complete set of the Greenwich Village periodical. Each issue with a different theme: no. 1: Greenwich Village and Bohemianism; no. 2: Children's Writings and no.3: Stimulants. Tuli Kupferberg was a New York City-based poet, author, cartoonist, publisher, and musician. In 1958, Kupferberg started Birth Press with Sylvia Topp, which published a number of beat and anarchist-influenced magazines and pamphlets, including Birth, Swing, and YEAH. Kupferbergs work often attracted controversy; he was a dedicated activist around issues including racism, censorship, and police brutality.
