I was then working at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpoetrylibrary.org.uk\/\">The Poetry Library<\/a> in London and part of my job was photocopying thousands (literally) of poetry magazine and information lists which I assure you is mind-numbing work.<\/p>\n<p>The library though was lovely and whilst there I produced one full A5 pamphlet and a scattering of aborted ideas for publications. All were to be made on a photocopier! We talking pre-computer days so I assembled the copier templates from photographs, drawings and type written manuscripts!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos of the work produced in early 1990s.<\/p>\n<div
