James Reaney's little magazine

The death last week of poet and playwright James Reaney resulted in passing references to his periodical publishing output. From 1960 to 1972, Reaney published 19 issues of the twice-annual magazine Alphabet, which he often typset and printed himself. The magazine was dedicated to exploring the "iconography of the imagination". He also issued his early books under the Alphabet Press imprint. [At right is No. 2, July 1961.]
