 To mark the publication of each new issue, "The Gamut" holded a public reading in which the poets published in that issue read their work.Beginning in the spring of 2006, the editors decided to reserve one half of each issue's content for the winning submission of an annual chapbook contest.Traditionally, Harvard has been home to many of the most important American poets, including T. S. Eliot, Robert Lowell, John Brooks Wheelwright, Wallace Stevens, E. E. Cummings and John Ashbery.
