Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. FINCH, Peter (ed.). Issues 7 to 14. Cardiff: Peter Finch. c. 1969-71. Stapled wraps. 12mo. A nice middle-run of what remains a critical poetry magazine that published many poets of many forms and backgrounds in a time where poetry was dominated by a small group of publishers interested in white, male British poets only. What started as a small project to publish Welsh poets with the small funding from the Welsh Arts Council became a global hub for all underground poetry. Finch recalls by only a few issues his receiving calls, letters, and messages morning, noon, and night. The magazine ran for twenty-one issues with the first being a foolscap-sized mimeographed slim thing of six pages and 100 copies. This gradually expanded to the last issue which was a 268-page, perfectly bound offset-litho production. That first issue focused on Welsh poets but a huge number of poets contributed across its run, and quickly. Bribes were even offered (and rejected) to gain a place within its mighty yet humble halls. The collection here contains contributions from Pablo Neruda, Roger McGough, Edwin Morgan, Will Parfitt, Bob Cobbing, Iain Sinclair, George Dowden, J. P. Ward, Michael Horovitz, Charles Bukowski, Yukio Mishima, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Redgrove, Federico Garcia Lorca, and many, many more. Its pull for submission was its openness to theme and style. Finch felt poetry was inaccessible for many, since it was dominated by Cape, OUP, Faber, and Penguin. He said "much vital and important work was being ignored because it was regarded as too radical, too different, too difficult or was just simply misunderstood. What was needed was a common platform for all that was going on. I tried to provide that." The publication and its subsequent success stuck it to those publishers, and Second Aeon was hailed as the most important poetry magazine around. It ceased on a high, when Finch took a job with the Welsh Arts Council, a stipulation of which was for him to give up the mag. Of its 21 issues, the earlier ones are scarce - the majority of the second issue was burnt before distribution by contributor Jan Leslie Olsen, who had immediately found Christ after submitting his 'Devil poetry'. Complete sets do exist but are very scarce. The archive is held at The Fales Library & Special Collections in New York. Condition: Mostly very good or better. Some minor grubbiness, handling, tiny creases to corners, contents usually fine.…
