E. Cummings, Yvor Winters, and Dudley Fitts. This issue also contains chronicles, photographs, and book reviews, offering a glimpse into the intellectual and cultural climate of the 1930s. Condition Notes: Condition: Fair. The cover has visible staining and age-related discoloration, with wear along the spine and edges.

A rare piece of literary history that would be a valuable addition to any collection focused on early 20th-century American literature or literary journals.
