Scope and content
A collection of 20th century British and American authors, including avant-garde local author Barry MacSweeney and “Black Mountain poet” Robert Creeley: the ephemeral and rare nature of the “hasty editions” and the presentation inscriptions attest to the authors’ closeness with Ric and Annie Caddel, whose Pig Press played an important part in the British Poetry Revival.
