Condition: Near fine. Stuart Mills and Simon Cutts (eds), Tarasque no. 2, Trent Book Shop, Trent Bridge, Nottingham, undated, c.1966. 204 x 176mm. Silkscreen stapled wraps printed in red and pink, inside text printed in black and white. Unpaginated. A seminal magazine for poets and artists from the British small press scene of t…he 1960s and 1970s. Instead of an editorial, this issue features 'some pointers taken at random from notebooks and other sources'. What starts as manifesto-like writing signs off accordingly with the wry endnote: 'It may depress readers to learn that the T.L.S. is in its 65th year.' Includes contributions by Stuart Mills, Simon Cutts, Michael Butler and Spike Hawkins. Condition: slight toning to edge of dust jacket, internal pages fine. Overall: near fine.

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.
