Just back from the trek in the Himalayas and while hovering around in Thamel, one of Kathmandu's famous tourist hub, in the Pilgrims book shop I bought a poetry collection titled " Safa Tempo: Poems new and selected," which I read on my flight back home and was shocked by the poets originality and style. Allen Ginsberg would have hugged Bhuwan Thapaliya, the poet from Nepal, if he were to read his works today. Thanks. Thanks for the information.

But they never acknowledged it--it happened within six months of the publication of Minutes To Go, in January 1960." Gysin seems unaware that Burroughs published some material in Locus Solus II. Also, it's Harry Mathews not Matthews. And he wasn't a member of the Oulipo until years after Locus Solus ceased publication.
