Art Press International, Issue 10, Summer 1977

Burroughs contributes “havre des saints”, an extract from the Flammarion edition of Port of Saints, pp. 6-7, with a photo of Burroughs by Carlos Freire. There are book reviews of Ginsberg and Kerouac at page 40.

This copy has a signed letter from the Paris-based artist Édouard Pignon (about a proposed class visit to his studio) tucked into its pages with a handwritten letter (which I can't quite decipher) on back, apparently from French painter Jean Messagier.

Published in Paris, France by Art Press International in Summer of 1977.
