Ten Years of COEVOLUTION Quarterly - News That Stayed News
“COEVOLUTION QUARTERLY,” writes Stewart Brand in his afterword to this remarkable anthology, “was founded to see what would happen if an editor were totally unleashed. I would print anything that kept me turning its pages.”
Through forty-three issues and ten years of publishing, COEVO earned a reputation as one of the most free-spirited, wide-ranging, and challenging ventures in American journalism. Its pages were home for many of the period’s leading writers and artists, including Paul Ehrlich, Ursula Le Guin, Jerry Brown, Wendell Berry, R. Crumb, Dan O’Neill, Gary Snyder, Ivan Illich, and Ken Kesey-all of whom are represented in this collection of COEVO’s most enduring articles. Topics range from the biology of communities and human DNA damage to animal stories and the Amanda Madison Memorial Nonsense Box at Smitty’s Bar.
These are examples of reporting and storytelling that truly meet Ezra Pound’s definition of literature: “news that stays news.” “Every day of the five years I worked {as editor of COEVOLUTION QUARTERLY},” writes Art Kleiner, coeditor of this collection, “I was conscious that we were printing material that could last long beyond the lifespan of a typical magazine issue. . . . Here is the best of that material.”
