Serials
Scope and Content
Serials featuring Griffin's writings, which include serials that he published, have

Biography/History
The first publication Griffin worked with was
Shattersheet, edited and published by Jim and April Burns out of the
Valley. Jim walked into Al's one night giving away free issues to introduce the zine
to everyone. Mike Bruner and Griffin responded immediately and volunteered to do
whatever Jim wanted.
Shattersheet was important because
not only did it publish poetry, but it was the first publication, to Griffin's
knowledge, that published a fairly comprehensive listing of poetry events in and
around Southern California. Just previous to this Griffin had worked at Medicus, a
local printing broker. With Jim and April, wanting to learn everything he could about
DIY/small press, Griffin did much of the same tasks: cut and paste, inputting on the
ancient Mac used primarily for word processing, collating/folding, distribution,
collections, and some editing. Working with
Shattersheet Griffin got to know the local community and became very
familiar with Scott Wannberg's work long before they met and became friends.
Wannberg's book
The Electric Yes Indeed!, officially
published by Shelf Life Press and with initial editing and publishing by Jim, became
the second book Griffin had published.
As
Shattersheet was waning,
The
Moment
was on its way up, in Griffin's opinion inspired by the local success
of
Shattersheet.
The
Moment
was edited and published by Kevin Bartnof, Chris Behling and Eric
Lyden, who were more Gonzo in their approach. With
The
Moment
, Griffin was introduced to a deeper Beat dynamic, and in time was
introduced to Allen Ginsberg and Jack Micheline, among others. In Griffin's words,
"the Carma Bums got directly plugged into
The Moment
since we fit directly into what it was they were all about."
Griffin became friends with Rafael FJ Alvarado, a regular of the old Onyx, when he
disrupted a reading that Griffin was conducting at The Onyx Cafe on Vermont.
Eventually, Alvarado and Griffin would publish and edit
(Sic)
Vice & Verse
, first as the broadside
(Sic) Random
Vice & Verse
, then as a periodical. Griffin worked directly with Michael
Simmons and Rachel Kusher.

Biography/History
Griffin co-edited this book with Alan Kaufman. This book happened as a result of
Griffin's relationship with San Francisco Beat poet Jack Micheline. When Micheline
passed away, Griffin eulogized him in his Onword column for
Damaged Goods, a Los Angeles based underground / small press lit-poetry
serial edited and published by Tracy Lee Williams. The piece was picked up and
published online at BookZen.com, where another friend of Micheline's, Alan Kaufman,
read it and then began an email correspondence with Griffin. During the course of
their correspondence Griffin said that he had always wanted to create an "anthology
of California poets like Jack who never got their due in life." Alan responded, "Me
too," and they were on. Kaufman had a connection with a literary agent who pitched
the project which was then picked up by Neil Ortenberg at Thunders Mouth Press in
New York. Ortenberg's only caveat was that the project had to be an anthology
covering the national scene with six weeks to create it from start to finish. The
book ended up taking over a year to execute online via email and telephone with
Griffin in Los Angeles, Kaufman in San Francisco, and Ortenberg in New York.
