Jastrzebski-Glinka subsequently became active in the free festival movement in the mid-‘70s.

Contents include “Acid Poem 1” by David Apthorp; “Open Secret”, a poem by George Andrews; translations from Tibetan and Sanskrit religious texts; works by nine Nepali poets; and a critical essay by Abhi Subedi titled “Movements of Nepali Poetry of this Decade.”
