Poetry. Magazine. ZEN MONSTER is a literary journal for poetry, fiction, essays, art work, calligraphy and "subversive political commentary" edited by Brian Unger, John High, Lewis Warsh, Robin Ellenbogen, and Andrea Libin. It is committed to mature achievements, beginnings, half-steps, younger artists, older artists, and any "fumblings by the way." No inherent limits. The first issue features astounding calligraphy by the late French orientalist Henri Michaux, a number of fascinating and previously unpublished letters and epistolary poems by Philip Whalen, an incredibly concentrated and keen essay on Michaux by Richard Sieburth, anti-war poems by Gloria Frym, Charles Bernstein and Bob Perelman. Plus there are quite fine poems by Buddhist and non-Buddhist writers both from within and outside the S.F. Zen tradition like Reed Bye, Barbara Henning, Eliot Katz, Fanny Howe, Anne Waldman, Lou Hartman, Norman Fischer and Claudio Bertoni.
