MY OWN MAG

Barnet, Herts, UK: Homosap Inc, 1964. First editions. Near fine.. 11 issues (of 17) of Nuttall's masterful mimeo magazine that functioned as an important platform for the cut-up work of William S. Burroughs. An innovative and intricate assemblage (which included burn marks, holes, variously sized papers, fold-outs, stickers, and the like), MY OWN MAG was easily one of the most vital and exuberant little mags of the 1960s. And while it published the likes of Anselm Hollo, Charles Plymell, William Wantling, Doug Blazek, Bill Butler, Carl Weissner, Claude Pélieu, Robert Creeley, and Allen Ginsberg, Nuttall's publication was perhaps most infliential as a primary outlet for the work of Burroughs, who published numerous of his "cut-ups" across MOM's run. Issues included are: nos. 5, 6 ("Cut Up Issue"), 7, 8, 9 ("Special Post-Election Issue"), 10 ("All British Issue"), 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Issues, especially the early ones, are becoming increasingly uncommon, and substantive runs of any kind scarce. A representative collection of this indispensable artists' magazine. 11 volumes; majority 13'' x 8''. Original stapled mimeographed self wrappers. Various paginations. Mild wear here and there. Else a remarkably bright, clean, and sharp set.
