Note
A rare, complete run of this magazine from the Loujon Press. Contributions by i.a. Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Mezz Mezzrow, Charles Olson, Harold Norse, Kenneth Rexroth, Dick Higgins, Henry Miller, Gary Snyder, Robert Bly and LeRoi jones. The final issue incorporates "Homage to Kenneth Patchen" featuring tributes from numerous poets and acolytes. Laid into this number is the separate insert of pressed, dried flowers picked from "inside a mile of Geronimo's grave (...)" included as a good luck charm with this volume and with an explanatory leaf affixed with a paper clip. The bound issue was limited to 500 copies. Clay and Phillips, p.50: "The Outsider represents an extreme act of publishing and deserves special mention (...) The Outsider was lavishly (one imagines even maniacally) produced by letterpress with a wide range of interesting and unusual materials." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XVIII.
