Item description from seller

POOR.OLD.TIRED.HORSE. Numbers 9-25,1961 -1967 - all original. 17 issues in total. Edited by Ian Hamilton Finlay, POOR.OLD.TIRED.HORSE. is seen as the most important concrete poetry journal of the 1960s in Britain. The journal title comes from Robert Creeley's poem "Please" (1959). The early numbers are black & white, but later numbers involve colour (often silkscreen) illustrations as the concrete poetry movement blossomed. It has become highly influential for both poets and artists (see for example the ICA group exhibition POOR.OLD.TIRED.HORSE. of 2009). Issue no. 10 is a concrete number, including Augusto de Campos, Eugen Gomringer, Dom Sylvester Houédard and Edwin Morgan. Issue no. 12 is a Visual Semiotic Concrete edition. Issue no. 18 is a collaboration, with writings and script by Ad Reinhardt and drawings and layout by Bridget Riley. Issue no. 25 the final issue is dedicated to one-word poems. Contributors include : Ian Hamilton Finlay, Pete Brown, Anselm Hollo, Lorine Neidecker, Gael Turnbull, Marvin Malone, Cid Corman, Jerome Rothenberg, Guillaume Appolinaire, Larry Eigner, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Edwin Morgan, Cesar Lopez Nunez, Jonathan Williams, Tom McGrath, Spike Hawkins, Georg Trakl, Robert Garioch, Ernst Jandl, Paul de Vree, Robert Creeley, Vladimir Mayokovsky, Yury Pantratov, Libby Houston, Eugen Gomringer, Michael Shayer, Mary Ellen Solt, Peter Stitt, Dom Sylvester Houédard, Peter Lyle, Margot Sandemann, Heinz Gappmayr, Pedro Xisto, Hamish MacLaren, George Macklay Brown, Eli Seigel, Pierre Albert-Birot, Francis Ponge, Edward Wright, Emil Antonucci, Charles Biederman, Jim Nicholson, Ronald Johnson, Bernard Kops, Larry Eigner, Robert Creeley, Augusto de Campos, Edgard Braga, Bridget Riley, Ad Reinhardt, Robert Lax, Jeffrey Steele, Kenelm Cox, Stephen Bann, Hansjorg Mayer, Edward Lucie-Smith, Alan Riddell, Astrid Gillis, Aram Saroyan et al.
