Poetry Chapbooks of the 1960's (April, 2008)
For National Poetry month, Special Collections has on display in the West Reading Room works from the 1960s (considered a time of renaissance for poetry) that utilized an old format: chapbooks. Chapbooks are a genre of pocket-size booklets, many of which are bound with paper covers and contain few pages. These books, whose origins date back to the 16th century, had a resurgence of popularity in the 1960's among poets. This display features several chapbooks, dating from the 60's, from notable poets such as Michael McClure, Josephine Miles, Paul Goodman, and more.
