Burroughs, Jonathan Williams, Clayton Eshleman, Paul Blackburn, Edward Field, Jean Genet, Jack Kerouac, Kenneth Patchen, Diane Wakoski, Denise Levertov, Lawrence Durrell, Marcus J.

A complete set of the four separate volumes (representing 5 issues). A very good set in original wraps (Volume 4/5 has a partially mounted jacket).

The extra contents leaf backed with Patchen image is laid in loose in #4/5, there are otherwise no loose items in the set.
