Numbering anomalies/errors

• Vol. 7:1 is printed as “vol. 6:1.” My numbering is based on publication date.


• Vol. 7:2 is printed as “vol. 7:1.” My numbering is based on publication date and the numbering of the July 1971 issue as “7:3/4,” which seems to count May 1969 as 7:1 and July 1970 as 7:2.


• In spring 1988 numbering jumps from vol. 19:2 to vol. 25:1.


• Vol. 26:1 numbering based on publication date and numbering of subsequent volumes. The volume itself contains no printed volume number.


• Vol. 27:1 numbering based on likely publication date and numbering of subsequent volumes. The volume itself contains no printed volume number or date.


• Vol. 37:1 is printed as “vol. 37:2.”

Other notes

• Vol. 7:1 contains sections on Nigerian poets and Black poets.


• Vol. 8:1—East Lansing poets


• Vol. 9:1 consists of ten posters in a manila envelope.


• Billboard issue likely appeared in 1974 following vol. 9:1


• Vol. 9:3—Women write


• “The Post Card Mysteries is a special publication of Red Cedar Review and represents Volume 10, Issue #1 of that magazine. It was edited by James Kalmbach, designed by Dennis Pace, and illustrated by Gene Stotts. The book is part of our continuing experimentation with new forms for the small press magazine that has led us in the past to place an issue on a billboard over Grand River Avenue in East Lansing, and a small homage to Al Drake whose energy sustained RCR through many issues and changes in personnel until his resignation as advisor two years ago. Beginning with Volume 10 Issue 2/3 we will return to our regular magazine format.”


• Vol. 10:1 is the first perfect-bound issue.


• The 25th anniversary issue, Vol. 25:1, is fold-and-staple binding and echoes the design used in vols. 1, 2, and 3. Vol. 25:1 contains notes on RCR history by Albert Drake, Jim Cash, Peter Nye, Etta Abrahams, Maury Crane, and Walter Lockwood.


• Vol. 38 is the first issue published by the MSU Press.
