Second Coming Vol. 1, No. 2 -- First Appearance of Burning In Water, Drowning In Flame (1972)

Published in 1972, Second Coming Vol. 1, No. 2, featured the Bukowski poem:

Burning In Water, Drowning In Flame

It was collected 45 years later in Storm for the Living and the Dead (2017).

Contributors include William Wantling, Al Masarik, Lyn Lifshin, Judson Crews, Greg Kuzma and Ferlinghetti.

Second Coming Press was a San Francisco-based small press founded by Winans that was in existence from 1972 to 1989. Bukowski would appear in 10 editions of Second Coming between 1972 and 1986, including a Special Charles Bukowski Issue in 1974.
