The Galley Sail Review was edited by Stanley McNail in San Francisco starting in the late 1950s (issue 1 was Winter 1958) through the 80s. This isn’t quite as long of a stretch as The Wormwood Review, which was published by Marvin Malone from 1959 to 1999, but it’s an impressive run for a poetry magazine.

During the course of it’s run The Galley Sail Review published poetry and writing by: Philip Whalen, Robert Creeley, Ebbe Borregaard, Louis Zukofsky, Jonathan Williams, Charles Bukowski, William Carlos Williams, Russell Atkins, Gary Snyder, Clarence Major, Diane Wakowski, Joel Oppenheimer, Philip Lamantia, Cid Corman, Michael McClure, Margaret Randall, Loss Pequeño Glazier, James Broughton, Judson Crews, James Schevill, A.D. Winans, Peter Wild, Lyn Lifshin, Edward Mycue, and more.

Issue 6 shown above contains Charles Bukowski’s A CONVERSATION IN A CHEAP ROOM.
