Item description from seller

Typed Manuscript From the archive of Martin Bax. Poet & Critic was a short-lived but interesting poetry magazine. "Poet & Critic is not yet a little magazine, is still a mimeographed idea for one, a framework or testing ground, a workshop for poetry and related criticism." Edited by Poet & Critic William Tillson, Lafayette, Indiana: Purdue University, 1962. Unbound magazine. File 2: Pages A-J Pages 1-26. One file folder with mimeographed sheets laid in./ An interesting little magazine from editor William Tillson which ran from September 1961 to August 1962. The magazine had an open submission policy for poets as well as critics, and was an effort at establishing an ongoing dialogue between the two with each successive issue. Monthly issues consisted of a stapled group of sheets with the editorial content pages lettered and poetry pages numbered, both continuously throughout the year. These issues were housed in printed folders - File #1 for 1961 and File #2 for 1962 - that laid out the magazine's philosophy and submission policy. Contributors to the magazine included Cid Corman, Alan Swallow, Larry Eigner, William Stafford, Gael Turnbull, Stephen Minot, Daisy Aldan, Margaret Randall, and Judson Crews, among others. While innovative, the magazine proved too overwhelming according to Tillson, who also noted a reduction in subscribers from more than 500 to just over 100 for the last issue. The magazine was resurrected (at least in name) by Richard C. Gustafson, a professor at The University of Iowa from 1964-1977. A surprisingly uncommon poetry magazine, either complete or in parts. Near Fine. Folder slight creasing and slight wear; light wear to some of the sheets.…
