Biographical note
A. D. (Allan Davis) Winans is a native San Francisco poet and
writer. In 1958 he returned home from serving three years in the
Air Force in Panama and became part of the North Beach Beat era.
With a part-time job working at the post office, Winans attended
day classes at City College of San Francisco, graduating in 1962
from San Francisco State College (now University). In 1972, he
founded Second Coming Magazine and Press and served as publisher
and editor until it ended in 1989. Winans has written 45 books
of poetry of prose and notes that his "poetry largely addresses
issues of concern to millions of Americans who spend the
majority of their lives struggling to survive in a society
bankrupt in spirit and moral fiber, where money is the only
common denominator."
