Passage to the Outside

Michael McClure · The Jargon Society (Jonathan Williams) · 1956

'Passage' (Jargon, 1956) is McClure's genuine first book and precedes the Auerhahn 'Hymns to St. Geryon' (1959). The premise that Hymns comes first is incorrect. There is no separate title 'Passage to the Outside'; the book is simply 'Passage.'
