Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Boards in vibrant blue cloth with title stamped in white on spine. Clean and unmarked. [280] pages. A collected reprint of the first eight issues of Number, a poetry magazine out of Mills College in Oakland, California, published in the early 1950's, associated with the 'Activist' group of poets, who were a close-knit but little-known Bay Area poetry movement that began in 1936. Includes pieces by Rosalie Moore (1948 Yale Younger Poet--chosen by Auden, and early friend of US Poet Laureate Kay Ryan), Jeanne McGahey, and Lawrence Hart, all of whom were members of the 'Activist' group of poets, to which the May 1951 and November 1958 issues of Poetry magazine were devoted. Other contributors include Luis Monguio, Robert Barlow, Waltrina Furlong, Kenneth Pettitt, Marie Graybeal, Emily Pausch, Betty Turnoy, Marie Wells, Ted Wright, Nanying Stella Wong, Don Wobber, and others, as well as a number of Mills College students.

The first four issues of this San Francisco poetry magazine. No. 1 features an introduction by Activist poet Lawrence Hart and seems to focus on the work of younger poets, including several first publications (including the editor, Wobber's; he is described as being in the printing business). Brief bios are given for each poet. No. 2, the "Chinatown issue," features traditional Chinese songs translated and illustrated by "Nanying," as well as poems by Ken Pettit, Robert Barlow, Ethelford Carrol, Elva Williams, Don Wobber, and Betty Turnoy. No. 3 (misbound, with some pages upside-down or out of order) features poetry and a brief biography of poet, anthropologist, and friend of Lovecraft Robert Barlow (also known as R. H. Barlow), mentioning his recent suicide, and also featuring his translation of B. Ortiz de Montelanno's "The Sombreron: A Mexican Drama." No. 4 features poems by Betty Turnoy, Evelyn Belvin, Ted Wright, Kenneth Pettit, Don Wobber, Waltrina Furlong, Luis Monguio, and a selection of poems from the students of Mills College. The four issues of an interesting little poetry magazine; Numbers 1-8 were reprinted by AMS Press in 1970.
