The exhibit includes correspondence or publications by Ray Johnson and Dick Higgins, among many others... and there's a great-looking illustrated catalog available for $10.
The Exhibit is called An American Avant Garde: First Wave - next year I'm going to do a "Second Wave" which will focus on the next generations of avant garde writing and will be based on the Avant Writing Collection I'm curating here at OSU
Onword,

Dear Fluxers: At last I met a real Fluxlister! Thursday, July 26 I drove the approximately 50 miles Southwest to Columbus, Ohio. There was to be a talk and reception at the Ohio State Main Library showcasing avante garde literature. John had much to do with the collection and display and invited me to attend. I did and it was excellent! The main writer featured at the exhibit and lecture was William S. Burroughs and Ohio State has a large collection of his manuscripts, mementos, and articles such as a complete suit of clothes. John also had a book of his own poetry there. Perhaps he would like to add more? -Don Boyd
