The Webbs produced the Outsider from their small apartment in the French Quarter in the early 1960's. By day Gypsy Lou sold paintings on a street corner, and by night she set the type that introduced the world to the beat poet Charles Bukowski whose work Jon Webb also chose for their first two Loujon Press books- It Catches My Heart in It's Hands and Crucifix in a Deathhand. Each page of every copy of this issue of the Outsider was printed by hand individually on a 19th century clamshell press. This issue contains work by Miriam Patchen, Kenneth Patchen, Kay Johnson, Gary Snyder, Robert Creeley, Michael McClure, William Burroughs, Irving Layton, Diane Wakowski, Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller and many more.
