Fourth Assembling

1973

Kostelanetz calls this experimental magazine a “Collection of Otherwise Unpublishable Manuscripts.” It also contains an extensive collection of biographical notes for its contributors. A preface, titled “Why Fourth Assembling,” notes that “several editorial powerhouses have reportedly objected to our ‘lack of editorial principle,’ but they fail to discern the intelligence implicit in the abdication of authority.”
