Notable early appearance by Wallace Stevens ("The Pleasures of Merely Circulating") and William Carlos Williams ("An Early Martyr"), along with works by editors Susanna Valentine Mitchell and David C. DeJong, and contributions from Winfield Townley Scott, Lewis Jacobs, Frank Merchant, T.C. Wilson, and William Maas. *OCLC* locates no copies of the laid in mimeographs publisher's sheet.
