This archive follows the radical word-play techniques of cut-up and permutation as invented and developed by Burroughs and Gysin and adapted by Nuttall and later poets. Most of these works were scarce even at the time of publication and typify the underground ethos of later Beat--more controversial and Dadaist than the American current. Overall good condition. (65)
