No Binding. Condition: Near fine. 1st Edition. Edited by Simon Cutts and Stuart Mills, Private Tutor, Issues 1-12 (complete set), Tarasque Press, The Trent Book Shop, Trent Bridge, Nottingham, August 1967 September 1970. 260 x 200 mm. Letterpress printed (black and red on white stock) broadside periodical (A4 verso only) that features rules, statements and questions on poetry, in the playful and polemical mode of Tarasque Press. Edition of 100 (unnumbered).Number 1 opens with the mission statement, 'Assuming from the onset that the reader has little or no grounding in literature we will commence and continue in a very direct manner.' Number 3 declares, 'The true concern of the poet should be the avoidance of ugliness. Art exists by the tolerance of others. It might be argued therefore that a poet using his craft as a vehicle for politics will ultimately find his readership amongst politicians, the more sensitive finding this misuse of poetry irksome and a deceit. In this country today a large percentage of poetry written by younger poets avoids the integral beauty exemplified by the fusion of form language and motif.' Number 5 presents Edwin Morgan's 'Making a Poem'. Number 7, printed in orange, involves a series of questions by Stephen Bann. In issue 9, Cutts asks the question 'Are earthquakes weather?' Number 10 features Mills' poem 'Skylines/Sea-lanes'. Ian Hamilton Finlay is featured in three issues: issue 8 (printed in green), 'Arkady ABC.' (some questions on the poem); issue 11, 'The Weed Boat Masters Ticket Preliminary Test (Part One); issue 12, 'Boats of Letters'.Condition: near fine.
