Description

Detroit: Van Newkirk, 1968. 16 x 22.25 inch broadside, very good, paper still bright; small smudge of blue ink in field. One side functions as a poster for Eldridge Cleaver's 1968 run for US President, while the other has the text of the Black Panther Party's platform and program, with quotes from the writings of Andre Breton, Robert Duncan, Dave Sinclair, Murray Bookchin, and Eldridge Cleaver. Guerrilla was published by Allen Van Newkirk in Detroit from 1967-1968. Van Newkirk, who was connected with the White Panthers, styled his paper after Black Panther publications, and called Guerrilla "a broadside of poetry and revolution." He was known for his anarchic behavior. During a New York City poetry reading by Kenneth Koch, Van Newkirk charged the stage firing a pistol (loaded with blanks) declaring "death to bourgeois poets" while others threw copies of the Guerrilla to the stunned (and fleeing) audience. According to Detroit's Metro Times, he was arrested in a December 2005 robbery in a Toy's R Us near Vancouver, British Columbia. John Sinclair, originally an editor of Guerrilla, remarked, "The surrealists were his big inspiration, and if sticking up Toys "R" Us isn't a surreal act, I don't know what is!
