Fagin, Larry (ed).

Adventures in Poetry, no. 10. [Early 1970s].

Item #915

Side-stapled mimeograph. Adventures in Poetry's infamous "Anonymous Issue," with the pornographic comic strip "School Days" featured on the cover. No contributors are credited.

Reflecting on why he began publishing Adventures in Poetry for From A Secret Location, editor Larry Fagin recalls "Number 10 was the “anonymous” issue—no authors were credited; not even the name of the magazine appeared; the covers were pornographic comic strips.

This issue is scare and is only on record at four institutions across the country. This copy near fine with light rubbing to covers.
