The Wormwood Review, edited by Marvin Malone, was one of the key little magazines to emerge from the so-called literary revolution of the 1960s. The Wormwood Review was an excellent example of a little magazine that did not become big despite publishing almost a hundred and fifty issues over a forty year span (1959-1999), featuring renowned writers such as e. e. cummings, James Wright, Stephen Stepanchev, and Edward Field, as well as Poet Laureates Billy Collins, Donald Hall, Kay Ryan, James Dickey, and George Bowering, and well-known “outsiders” such as Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Anne Waldman, Paul Blackburn, Ed Sanders, and Walter Lowenfels, among many others. The Wormwood Review was often seen as a vehicle for the best new literature available, and we do hope that The Wormwood Review Project allows readers to thoroughly enjoy such great literature.
