Slides and audio commentary from a presentation delivered at BGSU's William T. Jerome Library by poet David Adams on October 24, 2024. Adams discusses his decades-long research into the editorial and publishing histories of the pioneering post-war American literary magazines "CRONOS" and "The Golden Goose," which culminated in the publication of Adams's monograph on the subject in 2024.

Published between 1947 and 1954, "CRONOS" and "The Golden Goose" were founded by The Ohio State University undergraduate students Richard Wirtz Emerson, Gene D. Symonds, Ward Taylor, and Frederick Eckman, the last of whom would later go on to become Professor of English at Bowling Green State University and co-founder of BGSU's Creative Writing Program, and a mentor to author David Adams during his undergraduate tenure at BGSU in the 1960s.
