SCHUYLER, James (editor). Locus Solus 1 Winter 1961 [France, Lans-en-Vercors: Harry Mathews]. 1961.
8vo. Publisher's cream stiff wrapper with glassine wrapper; pp. 167; uncut, a little chipping to foot of glassine wrapper at front hinge with corresponding short tear to foot of cream wrapper, otherwise very good, internally very clean.
Large paper issue, one of 100, this copy unnumbered. Scarce, especially with glassine wrapper and in such clean condition.
Published in France but printed in Mallorca, this is the scarce first volume of the short lived but influential journal of experimental poetry and prose that ran to only five issues across four volumes. Contributors included Frank O'Hara and Barbara Guest as well as the four members of the editorial board, Kenneth Koch, John Ashbery, James Schuyler and Harry Mathews. Schuyler alone is credited as editor of this volume.
