Douglas Blazek (born 1941) is an American poet who was one of the main forces in the "mimeograph revolution" that affected American letters during the 1960s as the publisher of the literary magazine Ole and proprietor of the Open Skull Press. Based in Sacramento, California, Blazek was a major force in "underground", i.e., non-mainstream press poetry. The author and editor of 35 books and magazines who has appeared in over 1,300 periodicals since first being published in 1961, Blazek now is recognized as one of the founders of the Mimeo Revolution, a literary movement that sprang up concurrently with The Beats.[1] He was instrumental in bringing non-establishment poets such as Charles Bukowski into the limelight, by publishing their work.
