A propos de cet article

A complete run of this key New York School magazine, whose 'squat and plain' look invokes 'the serious literature of the French' (Clay and Phillips), although issues I and II are in their special editions, being one of 100 numbered copies and one of 50 numbered copies respectively. Standard copies of issues I and II were just bound in wrappers, but for the special copies issue I is presented in a larger format using a more simply printed jacket over plain wrappers, and issue II consists of plain wrappers with a jacket affixed at the spine, the jacket printed in the same way as usual but on a salmon-coloured stock rather than light green. The page edges in these issues are uncut and in fact unopened. (Double issue III-IV and issue V did not come in a special edition.) 12mo except for issue I (8vo). Wrappers, issues I and II with jackets. 168pp.-296pp. Contributors include William Burroughs, Frank O'Hara, Ted Berrigan, Piero Heliczer, Edwin Denby, Gregory Corso, LeRoi Jones, Diane di Prima, Gerard Malanga, Barbara Guest, John Wieners, Larry Rivers, Alan Ansen, Rudy Burckhardt, Robin Blaser, Bill Berkson, Kenward Elmslie, Mary Caroline Richards, Marcelin Pleynet, Denis Roche, Ruth Krauss, David Ball, Anselm Hollo, Joseph Ceravolo, John Perreault, Harold Rosenberg, George Stanley, Jane Freilicher, Robert Lax, George Montgomery, James Koller, Ebbe Borregaard, Paul Carroll, Fairfield Porter, James Merrill, Raymond Roussel, and the editors. Issues III-IV and V as new, issue II with moderate spotting to the page edges and just a little light rubbing, issue I only a little marked outwardly, the wrappers gently bumped to the corners because oversized. The latter contains a loosely inserted card announcing the new review.
