I have not read much Claude Pelieu but I love his work as an editor and publisher. Bulletin from Nothing (with Mary Beach) is one of the great mags from the 1960s. Pelieu was a writing machine, an Automatic Pilot. Here is a manuscript from that period, when Claude and Mary worked at City Lights

Featuring: wide-ranging interviews with Tom Raworth, David Meltzer, and Trevor Winkfield; insightful essays by Richard Price, Ken Edwards, and Alan Halsey; a selection of letters from Eric Mottram to Jeff Nuttall providing a British perspective on the Lower East Side Scene; and a long out-of-print statement by Asa Benveniste, poet and publisher of London’s legendary Trigram Press.
