Clinton Street Quarterly

Clinton St. Quarterly was a Portland-based political, cultural publication that ran from 1979 - 1989.

From Portland State University Archive:  “In 1979, Portland was simmering with creativity. Feeling that there was a wealth of untapped wisdom and talent, Lenny Dee brought together Eric Edwards, Joe Uris, and Beverly Walton to produce the first Clinton St. Quarterly. Over the years the quality kept improving, thanks to the artistic vision of Jim Blashfield, and the editorial smarts of Joel Weinstein, Peggy Lindquist, David Milholland, and Lenny Dee. Together they brought to the CSQ the talents and perspectives of a wide array of writers and artists of local, regional, and international stature. In 1982 Paul Loeb helped launch a Seattle edition. In 1988 Julie Ristau sparked a Twin Cities version. Always a labor of love, the Clinton St. Quarterly was an embodiment of what we can accomplish together.”

This issue, Volume 1 Issue 3, from 1979 goes behind the scenes of the Black United Front, discusses nude dancing and of course the aftermath 3 Mile Island. 

It was edited by Joel Weinstein, Joe Uris and Lenny Dee. Ad sales by David Milholland. Cover art by Isaac Shamud-Din (known now as Isaka Shamsud-Din) with the logo by De Johnette. Additional contributing artists are Steve Sandstrom, Henk Pander, Jerry Harley, Bill Dodge, De Johnette, Barry Curtis, David Barrios and Isaac Shamud-Din (known now as Isaka Shamsud-Din) .
