The Magazine of Further Studies No. 3 (1966)

Buffalo, NY: Magazine of Further Studies, 1966. First Edition. Stapled Wrappers. “The Jafferson Aweplane / I want to be successful in other terms than lives. / Loveliness among these people is no occurence [sic] to me. / to be huddled up / in a ball in the corner of / your room. / In the Pasture / Beauty such as never was mine / Existed here for a day with you. / Some black man looms in my life, larger / than life. / Some white man hovers there too, but I am / through with you. / Some wild man dreams through my day, / smelling of heroin. / Some dead man dies in my arms every night.”--John Wieners, "Jafferson Aweplane." The Institute of Further Studies emerged during the fall of 1965 in Buffalo, NY, when George Butterick (1942-1988), John Clarke (1933-1992), Albert Glover (1942-2026), and Fred Wah (b. 1939) decided to continue their work with Charles Olson (1910-1970) after he had left SUNY-Buffalo and returned to Gloucester, Massachusetts. One result of their efforts was The Magazine of Further Studies, six issues of which appeared between 1965 and 1969. All issues were printed offset from stencils typed on an IBM Selectric typewriter on 8½ x 11 white stock and stapled within heavy paper covers cut from a roll of packing material. An image of some sort was then usually applied to the front cover, however, this issue seems to be an aberration in that regard. Issue no. 3 featured a patch of raccoon fur cut from an old coat; no. 6 presented one end of a piece of baling twine that led inside, etc. Offered today is the 1966 issue, Magazine of Further Studies No. 3. This issue features: an untitled poem, “Fur,” and “The Mountain, The Creek, All Ends In the Lake” by Fred Wah; “The Jafferson Aweplane,” and “The Rose at the End of the Saloon” by John Wieners (1934-2002); “Sections from Subway” and “The Devils Footprints” by George F. Butterick; “Enough Animus So It All Has Will,” and an untitled prose piece by John Clarke; a snippet from “Human Universe and Other Essays” by Charles Olson; an untitled piece by Albert Glover; “Euoia,” and “The Lesbian is Dead” by Duncan McNaughton, among many other great contributions! From the collection of Albert Glover, the great American scholar, bibliographer, author & publisher who was the foremost remaining authority on literary giant Charles Olson (our favorite Maximus Obscurantist), with whom we’re honored to have been acquainted. Stapled wrappers. First & presumably only printing. In relatively very fine condition with only minor wear to fine edges, slight staining/discoloration to front and back covers, and slight discoloration due to age-toning throughout interior and exterior. Very Fine. [Item #8917]
