"Georgia Straight: Writing Supplement, May 1971". 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 Robert Creeley, Gladys Hindmarch, Dennis Wheeler, Robin Blaser, Ebbe Borregaard, George Bowering, Harold Dull, Fred Wah, and others. Very good .
