A good find at the book fair on Sunday, which I only went to because Typewriter Jim found a gem there when he last attended. This copy of Poetry Student magazine was buried in piles of old poetry mags. It features Bob Cobbing as guest editor of their Centrepiece section. I did find a couple more, one with Bob Cobbing material in, which I might scan. I've got a cold though at the moment and already the effort feels to much like hard work - oh you're so lucky - really - but I made the effort! Adding titles to the pieces is too much effort though - sorry - but if you follow the guide in the Centrepiece box below you'll find out who did what since I scanned them in the correct order. Visual/Concrete Poetry might have been on its last legs by 1975. I don't know. That's just a feeling. Before the gap in which nobody did anything (ha-ha) then the revival in, um, er, 2000-and-something.
