Revisiting this 5 years later to find that A) I had given a wrong e-address on Dec 11 2007 (a Buddhist or Sanskrit oming bard seems to have interpolated…) – B) There have been plenty of New Departures/Poetry Olympics publications since number 15, up to number 36-37, the POT anthology – all interested please check http://www.poetryolympics.com and send orders! Thanks, also could email me via michael.horovitz@btinternet.com

Thanks for Jed Birmingham’s exposition re early issues of New Departures, ie Issues no 1, Oxford, Summer 1959, through to No 15, London 1982. In case some of your readers think not much has happened since then, maybe worth noting that further issues have continued appearing, from albeit sporadically, up to my mag op, ‘A New Waste Land: Timeship Earth at Nillennium’, in hb and pb, the most recent being numbers 38-41, London 2007. There have also continued to be many Live New Departures, Jazz Poetry SuperJams and ‘Poetry Olymplics Festivals’ â€“ and many of these stage and page productions have continued to feature many of the writers and artists Birmingham rejoiced in, including Burroughs, Beckett, Nuttall, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Trocchi, Pete Brown, McGough, Patten et al. There are details of New Departures publications still available via http://www.poetryomympics.com
