It was distributed in the Haight Ashbury area and was an early member of the UPS (Underground Press Syndicate). It combined poetry spirituality and multicultural interests with psychedelic design reflecting on the counter-cultural community. Many issues had ads for music and records.

It also featured such beat writers as Allen Ginsberg Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Michael McClure.
