THE TEXT/TECH PAPERS

Trace, No. 64 (Spring 1967)

Journal Issue

Academia & the Little Magazine by Charles Robinson gives Trace no. 64 its clearest point of entry, while The Certainties by A. Fredric Franklyn and Towards Print (the World in Poetry) by James Boyer May widen the issue’s field. Dated Spring 1967, this expansive number indexes 56 pieces or named sections, moving between literary argument, creative work, reviews, correspondence, and the practical business of little-magazine culture. The order matters: recurring editorial features sit beside contributions with their own formal and critical demands, so the magazine reads as an active conversation rather than a neutral container. The reader’s edition makes that sequence easy to follow; the original scan preserves the cover, page design, advertisements, visual material, and directory apparatus that locate the writing in its first publication. Together, the two editions show James Boyer May sustaining both a literary forum and a working map of the independent publishing network.
