Softcover. Issue Number 12. Slim quarto. Comb-bound card covers. Light wear and lower wrap a bit foxed, very good or better. Prints poems by Samuel Beckett (plus a note to Horovitz in facsimile), Derek Walcott, Anne Stevenson, Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes, Stephen Spender, Gregory Corso, and others. Also reproduces a drawing of Michael Horovitz by David Hockney, and a (in miniature) a TLS from Seamus Heaney in which he questions if such an event is helpful for the practice (or perception) of poetry, with a rebuttal by Michael Horovitz. *Brandes & Durkan* C328. An interesting and pleasantly haphazard production, with contributions from three Nobel laureates.
