Note
A rare, complete run of this important poetry periodical with contributions by numerous writers and poets. Clay and Phillips, p.112f: "The first issue featured a major section of work by Charles Olson, then barely published, and established the presence of an important magazine for new writing. As Olson wrote to Corman, Origin gave him "the fullest satisfaction I have ever had from print, lad, the fullest. And I am so damned moved by yr [sic] push, pertinence, accuracy, taste, that it is wholly inadequate to say thanks." The second issue featured Robert Creeley. Origin published a wide range of writers workng in poetry and prose (...) The possibilities for writing explored and enacted in the pages of Origin exerted considerable influence in the postwar literary scene - indeed as Paul Blackburn wrote in the early 1960s, "Origin and The Black Mountain Review; What other solid ground was there in the last decade?""
