"Georgia Straight: Writing Supplement, April 1-8 1970". Georgia Straight is the writing supplement of the Vancouver Free Press, first published in October, 1969. In a note in the January 28 - February 4, 1970 issue, "What We're Up To", Stan Persky and Dennis Wheeler write that they wanted to give poems and accompanying illustrations more space than was possible in the newspaper, to bring poets to a wider audience than that offered by the "little magazines", and to give the supplement a "political" character in the sense of developing a relationship with the community.
Among the contents of this issue are prose and poetry by Robin Ridington, Jim Brown, Joanne Kyger, Julian Wake, Stan Persky, Brian Fawcet, Harold Dull, Dennis Wheeler, and others. Very good .
