Poetry Newsletter published 12 issues from 1964-66 out of New York City. Founded by Wally Depew and Linda Bandt (Depew), the aim of the newsletter was “to present good poetry in an informal unpretentious format while serving our readers with reviews and a list of Poetry Happenings in the city, and to do this cheaply.” Working off of a submission model, the newsletter published a wide variety of established and lesser-known poets and artists who represent the diverse movements taking shape in the 1960s in and outside New York City. Representing Beats, Fluxus, L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, the Black Arts Movement, and the burgeoning concrete poetry movement, Poetry Newsletter featured writers such as Charles Bukowski, Sam Cornish, Stanley Fisher, and d.a. levy.

Issue number 9/10 contains poetry by Antoni Gronowicz, Art Kistner, Duane Locke, Wally Depew, and others. This issue also contains letters by d.a levy and Gene Fowler on the war in Vietnam and an informational insert published by the United Committee Against the War. Cover drawing and design by Linda Bandt (Depew). -Printed Matter
