DONOR INFORMATION Open Places was loaned to the University of Missouri for copying by Eleanor Bender, the editor of Open Places , on 2 August 1988 (Accession No. 4863). HISTORICAL SKETCH Eleanor M. Bender began editing Open Places , a contemporary poetry and review magazine, out of her New York City apartment in 1966. With the support of private monies and subscriptions, the magazine was published sporadically. From its first appearance, Bender intended Open Places to be a quarterly publication, but this was not realized until 1968 when she moved to Columbia, Missouri. Through the assistance of Max Baird, Bender began printing the magazine quarterly as a Southern Critic publication. Together Bender and Baird produced issues 5 and 6. With issue 7/8 | |
