He stands alone, but not aloof; self-sufficient, and yet co-operative. He is searching constantly for a closer approach to truth; criticizing those things which, to his mind and to his animal nature, are false. He is seeking and testing creative approaches to the problems that face individual men and women, that limit their humanity and chain them in a cage of mere existence." (No.1, p.1). No. 11/12 devoted to Gil Orlovitz's Statement of Ericka Keith. Contributions by i.a. James Boyer May, S.E. Laurila, Bern Porter, Jay Pell, John Henrik Clarke and S.Z. Perkoff.

- Issue no. 2 w. some sm. marginal tears in left of frontwrapper; wrappers of Supplement to Now sl. waterstained.

= Magazine with a focus on studying the craft of poetry and prose, for example proper use of American idiom and natural speech. Clay and Philips, p.287. "Today "The Black Mountain Poets" have far less trouble getting their work published: and their counterparts in unfashion among more recent generations of poets have such a variety of mimeographed (sometimes even glossy) outlets, that it's hard to recall the lack of reputation and lack of publishing opportunities characteristic of the literary scene during those damp, encased, mid-fifties McCarthyite years. Yes, there had been Origin - and after The Black Mountain Review folded in 1957, there was again to be an outlet for innovation: Gil Sorrentino's Neon, LeRoi Jones's Yugen, Ron Padgett's White Dove Review. But not until the early sixties - coincidentally with the breaking open of so many areas of American life - was there to be a variety, happily almost a tumult, of corresponding energies and outlets" (M. Duberman, Black Mountain: an Exploration in Community, 1972).

- A few issues sl. rubbed/ worn.

= A rare, complete run of this important poetry periodical with contributions by numerous writers and poets. Clay and Phillips, p.112f: "The first issue featured a major section of work by Charles Olson, then barely published, and established the presence of an important magazine for new writing. As Olson wrote to Corman, Origin gave him "the fullest satisfaction I have ever had from print, lad, the fullest. And I am so damned moved by yr [sic] push, pertinence, accuracy, taste, that it is wholly inadequate to say thanks." The second issue featured Robert Creeley. Origin published a wide range of writers workng in poetry and prose (...) The possibilities for writing explored and enacted in the pages of Origin exerted considerable influence in the postwar literary scene - indeed as Paul Blackburn wrote in the early 1960s, "Origin and The Black Mountain Review; What other solid ground was there in the last decade?""
