Introductory essays for this outstanding Assembling periodical are provided by Denis Poniz and Franci Zagoricnik. The latter mentions that the first publication of Slovene Concrete Poetry appeared in 1966 and that international collaborations began in 1967. Further, Zagoricnik indicates that Westeast was highly influenced by Spatola's Anthology Geiger. The content is weighted toward concrete poetry and typewriter poetry although several other artistic and poetic genres are included. This issue has been poorly bound causing pages to become loosened from the binding. This issue was dedicated to Seiichi Niikuni (1925-1977) and includes several photographic reproductions by Japanese poets influenced by his work. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
