Abstract:: Originally compiled by bookseller Chloe's Books, this collection contains uncorrected proofs of poetry collections written by various authors between 1984 and 1998, arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author or editor. These advance proofs allowed authors to make corrections to the books before the final versions were printed and released. Publicity materials that were originally laid into the proofs, including newsletters, press releases, publishers' letters to reviewers, and other ephemera, are found throughout the collection.
