About this Item

FINCH, Peter (ed.), MORGAN, Huw, Christopher; JENKINS, Philip; BROWN, Paul; REDGROVE, Peter; HODGES, Cyril; TAYLOR, Kent; VON TERSCH, Gary; TRIPP, John. A small selection of poems published by the Second Aeon. 1969-72. 12mos. Softcover wraps, staple bound. First editions. While The Second Aeon grew, editor Peter Finch decided to publish not only his own work but that of his fellow colleagues, too. About 45 were published in all, and eleven are collected here (one duplicate). The pamphlets are in essence an expansion on appearances in the Second Aeon - it s not clear what determining factors Finch used to publish these individual volumes, though they are often Welsh, so perhaps it was to do with funding from the Welsh Arts Council. Themes include concrete poetry, chance operations, non-referential, open field, post-beat, visual, found, collage, and still more. A full list of the volumes below. Generally fine, with some light handling marks to some, corners very gently creased, else clean. Uncommon. The volumes as follows: BROWN, Paul.
