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.
