THE OFFING
There have been other poetry editors at work, of course. Deborah Drooz was the poetry editor at the L.A. Weekly in the late 1980s, for instance.
It should also be noted that there were other editors working on magazines published outside of Los Angeles. Jean Burgen, for instance, editoed Yankee magazine for several decades.
Finally, many colleges in Southern California have published on a regular basis a literary magazine. CSU Long Beach (RipRap); Cal State L.A. (Statement); UCLA (Jacaranda Review); CUC Irvine (Faultline); etc.
Aya Tarlow was the editor, I believe, of Matrix: For She of the New Aeon.
