Unearthed from personal and institutional archives in the United States and abroad, these materials are edited by doctoral students at the Graduate Center, CUNY. LOST \u0026amp; FOUND SERIES V is a collection of 5 chapbooks featuring Kathy Acker, William S. Burroughs, Langston Hughes, and Jean Sénac: four major writers responding to sweeping socio-political shifts around the globe. While working at a strip club in Times Square in 1972, Kathy Acker writes \u003cem\u003eHomage to Leroi Jones\u003c\/em\u003e and other \"exercises,\" as part of an effort to map her \"total present consciousness.\" In \u003cem\u003eThe Travel Agency is on Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, William S. Burroughs performs cut-ups on authors related to his personal canon and ranging from William Shakespeare to Anthony Burgess. Across the ocean, Algerian poet Jean Sénac writes \u003cem\u003eLe soleil sous les armes\u003c\/em\u003e [The Sun Under the Weapons], a revolutionary manifesto urging for nothing short of total cultural transformation. Traveling between Moscow to Tashkent in 1932, Langston Hughes befriends, photographs, and translates the works of young poets writing in Uzbek in his travelogues, excerpted here as part of \u003cem\u003ePoems, Photos \u0026amp; Notebooks from Turkestan\u003c\/em\u003e. Edited, annotated, and with accompanying essays, \u003cem\u003eThe London Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e calls this \"a serious and worthy enterprise.\" Diane di Prima calls the series \"a gold mine\" and Joanne Kyger writes: \"What a brilliant cast of characters.
