Beat Scene 59: Feature on Bukowski Photographer Michael Montfort

Kevin Ring’s Beat Scene magazine is a treasure for Bukowski and Beat fans alike. I’m in the “never the twain shall meet” camp, but in this case the exception is deserved. Plus, Kevin’s a good guy who put a lot of work and high production value into each issue of the magazine. For Bukowski fans, this issue features a three-page feature on Bukowski photographer Michael Montfort. Also a nice feature on Allen DeLoach of Intrepid Magazine, who published Bukowski in many issues of the magazine. This copy is in Very Good ++ condition with bumps to the corners and some rubbing on the covers. The stables on this one are also oxidized. Issues of Beat Scene are getting harder and harder to find these days.
