Edinburgh; Wild Hawthorne Press, 1964 26 x 21cm, 4pp + 1pp insert. The twelfth number of Finlay’s poetry publication with contributions by Jeffrey Steele, Paul de Vree, Mary Ellen Solt, Edwin Morgan, Dom Sylvester Houédard, J.F. Hendry, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Ernst Jandl and Lewis Carrol. By this number it was clear that POTH was mostly dedicated to the visual poetry movement and all contributions here display strong visual elements. VG+ condition.

V TRE. 1963. FIRST MENTION OF “V TRE” – PRECURSOR TO MACIUNAS’ FLUXUS JOURNAL.

NYC: s.p. (Brecht), 1963 32.5 x 25cm, 2pp, Black on cream paper. The very first mention of "V TRE" - a name apparently appropriated from a broken neon sign - which Brecht published a year before Maciunas began the publication of the journal of the same name. Contributions from Claes Oldenburg, Ruth Krauss, Robert Morris, Heinz Gappmayr, Angus MacLise and Jackson MacLow. Brecht's design clearly was copied by/influenced Maciunas who created very similar paste ups to this item in the later journals. This is very rare and this example is in VG+ condition.
