Publications Edited by Prynne

Prospect, 6 (Spring 1964).

The English Intelligencer (various, 1966–68). Prynne was responsible for printing the journal. Andrew Crozier edited the first series of this worksheet, Peter Riley the second. The transition between the two series seems to have taken a while to arrange; during the interim, Prynne assembled a supplement entitled ‘This is personal’ [numbered separately from the other issues, but subsequent numbering treats it as pp. [267–74]], a collage of unattributed extracts from participants’ accounts of the Sparty Lea festival, held the week before Easter, [March] 1967. After Peter Riley’s editorship ended, a third series began with an issue dated 6 Dec. 1967; this was assembled (rather than edited) by Crozier and Prynne. This final series ended with an issue dated 29 September 1968. Certain Prose of The English Intelligencer, eds. Neil Pattison, Reitha Pattison and Luke Roberts (Cambridge: Mountain Press, 2012/2014 (2nd ed.)) reprints selections from the journal.

Drew Milne)): pp. 128. A selection from this volume is published in Exact Change Yearbook, 1 (Boston and Manchester: Exact Change, 1995): 19–40, including Prynne’s ‘Afterword’ on pp. 38–40.

[The full volume constitutes an English translation of an entire issue of a journal assembled by the Chinese Language-Poetry Group, unofficially published as Yuanyang: Zhongguo yuyan shipai (Nanjing/Suzhou, 1990 [actual publication date, 1992]), and thus the choice of works to be translated as well as the order in which they appear were entirely determined by the Chinese poets themselves].
