Background

The magazine featured a mixture of voices, including translations from the German, Arabic (two Palestinian women poets), and Spanish. It mixed underknown underground figures with more establishment voices, two state poets laureate, and rare treasures from the famous dead.^[3] The editors worked on two issues with literary executor Raymond Foye.^{[citation needed]}
