Jack Spicer's J ran for eight issues: Nos. 1-5 were edited by Spicer in North Beach where contributions were left in a box marked "J" in The Place, a bar on Grant Avenue in San Francisco; Nos. 6 and 7 (an Apparition of the late J) were edited by George Stanley in San Francisco and New York City respectively while no. 8 was edited by Harold Dull in Rome. Spicer believed that poetry was for poets and the magazine had a small circulation but cast a long shadow.
