Records of the New Poetry Magazine, 1966-1985

Abstract Or Scope

Extensive files of correspondence and contributions to this now defunct magazine.

Adamson aka "Oral Pistolero" was, by the evidence of these papers, the necessary driving force that kept this journal publishing and in circulation, particularly in the troubled years of the later 1970's.
