Scope and Contents
This collection consists of layouts for Targets and manuscripts submitted by poets for inclusion in the magazine.
Historical Note
For several years in the early 1960s W. Lee Garner edited a small poetry magazine called Targets. Garner did the layout himself, as well as the typing, design, stapling, mailing, and everything else to do with getting the magazine out. He exchanged magazines with other proprietors of small magazines as a way of distributing his little magazine. As well, poets sent him books for review. These other small magazines and books have been removed from the collection and shelved in the Main Library. However, an inventory of these titles is part of the collection.
He also kept manuscripts sent to him, and these make up the bulk of the collection.
