FINE* Illustrations: None.* Pages: 60 pp. text.* Product Description:- Smiths Knoll was founded by Roy Blackman and Michael Laskey in 1991. It ran until the final issue (Copy 50), came out in late 2012. The magazine, named Smiths Knoll after a lightship - in the North Sea off East Anglia - that is now no longer in service but in 1991 was mentioned repeatedly on the radio on the shipping forecast - free publicity, at the time. The name appealed too because a knoll is a small hill, a slightly raised place (poetry magazines don't attract much attention after all) where Smiths, and smiths too, were welcome and belonged. It has no apostrophe because, to avoid potential confusion, apostrophes aren't permitted on Admiralty charts.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st. issue 37, with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
