LOST & FOUND: THE CUNY POETICS DOCUMENT INITIATIVE publishes unexpected, genre-bending works by important 20th century writers. Unearthed from personal and institutional archives in the United States and abroad, these materials are edited by doctoral students at the Graduate Center, CUNY. SERIES II is a collection of 6 chapbooks featuring Diane di Prima's Mysteries of Vision: Some Notes on H.D. and R.D.'S H.D. (on Robert Duncan); a transcription of Robert Duncan's Charles Olson Memorial Lecture; selections from the Mexico City-based literary magazine El Corno Emplumado [The Plumed Horn] by Margaret Randall; Selections from Muriel Rukeyser's Spanish Civil War Archive; and Jack Spicer's Beowulf. Edited, annotated, and with accompanying essays, The London Review of Books calls this a serious and worthy enterprise. Diane di Prima calls the series a gold mine and Joanne Kyger writes: What a brilliant cast of characters. Just exactly what one (myself) would like to read.
