It followed the same principles of the Sunday Paper, with every work being accepted with no censorship. The contributions were compiled daily, five issues from the 4th until the 11th of October,  into the poets paper.  Contributors included Diane di Prima, William Levy, Frederica Venn, Michael McClure, George Andrews, Eddie Woods and many others.  Text a mix of Dutch and English.  All issues, generally in very good condition.  Scarce as a complete set.  WorldCat locates a complete set at Stanford and one at Leiden.
