From the introduction by Lawrence Ferlinghetti: "Even though some say that an avant-garde in literature no longer exists, the smaller independent publisher is itself still a true avant-garde, its place still out there, scouting the unknown ...From the beginning, the aim was to publish across the board, avoiding the provincial and the academic ...I had in mind rather an international, dissident, insurgent ferment ..."
