39 consecutive and complete volumes over 125 issues. A complete set under William Cookson’s editorship, up to and including the Celebratory Issue for William Cookson, edited by Patricia McCarthy, accompanied by the first “Broadsheet 1.”
Consists in the main of curated issues, either upon a theme (e.g. “Rhyme Issue,” or “Myth Issue”) or dedicated to a certain writer, modern (Pound, Williams, H. D., Eliot), contemporary (Charles Tomlinson, Kathleen Raine, Basil Bunting) or historic (Arnaut Daniel, Dante) to name but a few from this diverse, expansive, Pound-appreciating magazine of poetry.
At least a very good set; light, general aging throughout. With ephemera as issued laid-in throughout.
