First Edition
Condition: Fine. (ed.) Stuart Mills, Poet's Poems, Aggie Weston's Editions, Belper, Derbyshire, 2000-2005. 20 booklets (no number 13 was issued), each 200 x 140mm, printed black and white on cream stock in stapled colour wraps. Co-ordinated by Stuart Mills, designed by Colin Sackett. Each issue featuring poems chosen by: 1. Thomas A Clark; 2. Gael Turnbull; 3. Simon Cutts; 4. Alan Halsey; 5. Edwin Morgan; 6. Roy Fisher; 7. Geraldine Monk; 8. Robert Creeley; 9. Iain Sinclair; 10. Stuart Mills; 11. Peter Riley; 12. Jonathan Williams; 13. (not published); 14. Karen Mac Cormack; 15. Andrew Crozier; 16. Adrian Mitchell; 17. Richard Caddel; 18. Marjorie Welish; 19. Peter Larkin; 20. Charles Tomlinson; 21. Michael Heller. For this series of poetry chapbooks published by Aggie Weston s Editions called Poet s Poems, Mills adapted the concept of Desert Island Discs by inviting renowned poets to contribute 8 poems that would "bring respite" to imagined periods of "solitary confinement". It was, as Mills writes, a "borrowed idea" and "the outcome of a plot germinated during a patch of insomnia". Each issue was given over to a poet, resulting in "An Accumulating Anthology" of uniform stapled booklets with a recognisable colour used for the cover of each issue. Each issue includes a statement from the guest editor on the final page(s), reflecting on the process of selecting the poems. Designed by the innovative artist book designer, Colin Sackett, the series featured a clean modernist aesthetic with flawless typesetting and layout. The poet Stuart Mills was founder of Tarasque Press in the 1960s, and later Aggie Weston's. His close relationships with poets such as Thomas A Clark, Gael Turnbull, Simon Cutts, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Andrew Crozier and Jonathan Williams enabled him to realise this project. Condition: Fine. Extra postage required.
