VG set in slightly rubbed and creased publishers decorated wrappers. Illustrated throughout. The Introduction to Volume Three states that no more than 250 copies of each issue would be printed.An almost complete run (lacking only the first issue) of the notoriously direct and polemical avant garde small press publication devoted to the 'small poem', the lyrically brief 'post-concrete' successor to the avant garde movement of the 50s. The press was founded by Mills in 1964 when he opened the Trent Bookshop with Martin Parnell. It was named for the legendary fire-breathing monster which tormented the Rhone Valley, and drew its inspiration from Wyndham Lewis' Blast. The Press and its founders would drive the recognition of Nottingham as the regional centre of avant garde publishing in the UK. Tarasque would become noted for its professionalism - in direct and strident opposition to the deliberately ephemeral, throw-away, ramshackle approach of rivals such as Fluxus.

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.

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.
