In 1951 he founded the poetry magazine Origin, providing a platform for the work of poets like Charles Olson, Robert Creely, Theodore Enslin and others. His change in name form Sidney to Cid signaled his becoming a poet for the common man. His experiments with oral poetry later influenced the "talk-poems" of David Antin, a key moment in the emergence of performance poetry. In his capacity as an editor and publisher Corman was associated with the Beats as well as the Black Mountain poets.

First Edition. 4to, unpag.; original burlap covers lettered in cut velvet-textured fabric. One of 210 numbered copies (#200) signed at the colophon in rear by Corman and Ohno. The images were produced by collotype from original ink wash drawings and the text handset in Garamond. The most beautifully executed of Corman's many books, and, owing to the delicate quality of the burlap binding one seldom found in superior condition, as here. Slight toning to the spine only; a bit of a bump to the lower corner; an excellent copy in the rare original cardboard slipcase with label printed in red - some marks to the box.
