About This Item
Berkeley, CA: Circle (printed by The Greenwood Press), 1944. 1st edition. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket (as issued). Near VG. 8vo, 80pp (plus plates), printed wrappers. Early issue of this signal 1940s Berkeley little magazine (co-edited by Bern Porter), an elegantly designed early production of Jack Werner Stauffacher's Greenwood Press. For a brief span of years in the mid-forties this was one of the most important American outlets for Surrealist-influenced modernism. Miller's name is penciled on the first interior page (does not appear to be a signature). Otherwise-unmarked copy with toning at edges, and some tearing to spine.
