A notable haul of interviewees here: Richard Ellmann, Allen Ginsberg and Carol Rumens, and more of the young Auden; in fact a very fine sonnet from around the Brussels period, and it's hard to see why it remained unpublished for so long. The black and white design of the issue, with a new logo as masthead, lasted only for this one number (presumably because printing and setting costs were too high to sustain it). It was eventually revived, however, for the perfect-bound issues from X.1 onwards, so that the present masthead could be said to date from 1985.
