Complete run of this little mag of art and writing—particularly poetry—edited by poet and novelist Barbara Henning (b. 1948), with art editing by Sally Young and Miranda Maher. As described by Henning on fromasecretlocation.com: "For the most part, we published experimental art and writing that addressed tyranny, oppression, censorship, and that made a social commentary. We wanted to transgress static ideas about culture and language, engaging social and political transformation." Contributing writers include Diane DiPrima, David Rattray, Fanny Howe, Ron Padgett, Alice Notley, Bernadette Mayer, Lewis Warsh, Charles Bernstein, Barbara Guest, Jacques Roubaud, Kit Robinson, et al. Contributing artists include Toyo Tsuchiya, Christian Boltanski, Sophie Calle, Carolee Schneemann, Kiki Smith, Felix Guattari, Annette Lemieux, Miranda Maher, et al.
