Condition: Very good. First edition. Fifth issue of Kostelanetz's noted contributor's journal of concrete, visual poetry, and other art works. Coming down from writing his controversial END OF INTELLIGENT WRITING, Kostelanetz remarks in the introduction to FIFTH ASSEMBLING that "whole classes of literature were excluded from the dominant channels of cultural communication" because "the literary-industrial complex" was "subservient to the demands of fashion and commerce." In this work we see the material he would prefer to see in print, assembled by taking submissions from artists willing to send in 1000 copies of their pieces. 11'' x 8.5''. Original staple-bound photographic wrappers. Illustrated variously throughout. [142] leaves. Original $3.95 price on cover crossed out, repriced "4.95" in ink.
