= Wallace Bermans legendary artists magazine. This issue consists solely of the poem The Clown by David Meltzer. Semina was published for nine issues, between 1955 to 1964. Exceedingly rare. Clay and Phillips, p.78f: "Its circulation never exceeded a few hunderd copies. You could not buy Semina; it was sent to you. Consequently, some claim it as the precursor to "mail art".
