THE POETRY PROJECT NEWSLETTER [14 Issues]

New York: Poetry Project, 1980. First Edition. Very good.. Fourteen issues of this Lower East Side poetry stalwart - DC Mass Transit poets Doug Lang and Terence Winch's copies. Announces readings and workshops held at this cornerstone of the New York poetry community. Issue #100 is the Ted Berrigan Memorial Issue, and includes eulogies for Ted Berrigan and Edwin Denby; the first written by Anselm Hollo and the second by Reed Bye. "The delight of Ted Berrigan's presence... generates a unique double vision: one, a down-to-earth, Hand Williams, Janis Joplin, Gordon Lightfoot sense of the surounding space and times, and two, the shared realm of Ezra Pound ('a witness'), William Carlos Williams, Frank O'Hara, Charles Olson, and on and on..." 11'' x 8.5''. Top-stapled self-wrappers all, except for #100, which is saddle-stapled. Various paginations, most 8-12 pages. Issues included are: #42, 43, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 52, 53, 54, 56, 61, 74, and 100.
