Designed by Penny Goldsmith, edition of 300 copies privately issued for distribution at the fourth Vancouver Antiquarian Book Fair, March 11, 12 and 13, 1988. Fine copy. Acorn rages against the Canadian literary establishment as personified by the important and long-running little mag of the same name. "I pronounce a serventes against The Tamarack Review / Who's turned down my lovliest poems..An editor of The Tamarack Review / Rises in life by spiral motion / Up the tunnel to Lucifer's bowels..For a woman to get published in The Tamarack Review / If she has a good husband, she must leave him; / Write sad existential letters about how he was so goddamn noble / She couldn't stand it, whilst laying the dirtiest / bastards in town" And so on.
