Soft cover. Condition: Near Very Good. First Edition. April 1978. 8vo. Stapled wrappers. Unpaginated (28pp.). The editors explain in Steven Clay and Rodney Phillips' 'A Secret Location on the Lower East Side' how the early to mid-1970s 'marked a rising ferment of experimental activity in the poetry world. all against a backdrop of political and social unsettling, at home and abroad': 'Face-to-face communities of aesthetically radicalized poets sprang up in the San Francisco Bay area, New York, and Washington, where new reading series, presses, and magazines set the stage for intense discussions of new poetic possibilities as well as critical and historical thinking about poetry by the poets themselves (rather than by scholars or critics). Animated discussion of poetics went on in letters, in conversation, and in public talks, but there was no print forum for these ongoing exchanges.' Hence 'L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E', a 'self-produced magazine of information and commentary'. Contributors to this early issue include Ron Silliman, Jackson Mac Low, Barbara Baracks (on Mac Low), Ted Greenwald, Steve McCaffery, William Corbett (on Michael Palmer), John Perlman, Barrett Watten, Bob Perelman (on Watten), Michael Lally, John Taggart, Susan Bee Laufer, Bernstein, and Andrews. Also Roland Barthes, from 'Writing Degree Zero'. Marginal soiling to upper wrapper, which has a minor superficial rub, otherwise Very Good.…

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Softcover, unpaginated, somewhat age-toned & with spotting to covers, especially at rear. .
