London: Putnam, 1962. First Edition. Cloth-backed marbled paper-covered boards; 8vo. 32 pp. Inscribed "For Jon Edgar Webb and/The Outsider/with warmest regads and best wishes/Bob Sward/ McDowell Colony/Peterborough, NH/July 1962." Poet's second book, no U.S. equivalent. Bottom edges and tips of the fragile paper covers worn; Very Good. Dustjacket bright yellow; lightly worn and soiled (small brown spot on back panel); Very Good.
Webb and his wife "Gypsy Lou" edited the Loujon Press and published five issues of The Outsider, one of the most (elaborate) and important mid-century literary magazines. The contributors to The Outsider, Miller, Bukowski, The Beats, and other anti-establishment writers were not generally invited to The McDowell Colony, and no other connection found between Sward and Webb. An interesting association copy.
