After reading different issues ranging from the 80's to 90's, I found there were very similar aspects that slowly evolved as more pictures were included. Overall, the pieces were simple, displaying only the works of the writer page by page. As it continued into the 90's, that was when black and white pictures were added. Below are my notes on each of the chosen poems from the individual issues. ​
