Biographical / historical:

Ars Poetica was an irregularly published pamphlet dealing with the Shaw Collection. Dr. John Mackay Shaw was the curator and creator of the collection. In 1960, Shaw donated more than 5,000 books dealing with poetry and childhood to Florida State University (FSU). The donation was secured on the condition that Shaw be allowed to accompany the collection, to maintain, and add to it, and provide bibliographic information.
