Her assistant editor was Wayne Fraser.

With essays by Duane Schneider, Ian Hugo, Philip Jason, Benjamin Franklin V, and Anna Balakian among others, its a valuable addition to any collection/

Anna Balakian was also present at the Celebration Weekend, along with Evelyn.


Her words can be found in Chapter Eleven of Celebration.

Our site has always been most grateful to Valerie Harms editor of Celebration and one of the creatorsWeekend for giving us permission to provide the book online.

You can easily pick up a copy on abe.com. This link might work for a day or two!


Although Hinz and Balakian, like Nin are no longer with us, their words and connection to
Anais live on, reconstructing the world.


And your behind the scenes editor of this blog and former "celebrant" at that Magic Circles  weekend so many years ago, continues with this site  as homage to Anais, who inspired it all.
