"Georgia Straight: Writing Supplement. Sept 30 - Oct. 6, 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 publication a "political" character in the sense of developing a relationship with the community.
This issue publishes work by writers who live in Vancouver and features several pages of poetry by Colin Stuart, as well as poems and prose by Brian Fawcett, Karen Tallman, Gladys Hindmarch, Fred Wah and others. Good .
