Higgins founded Unpublished Editions in 1972 as an offshoot of Something Else Press when his novel *Amigo* was rejected for publication. Unpublished Editions was a hybrid between the traditional small press and an artists\u0026#39; cooperative. Its members included Higgins, Knowles, Cage, Philip Corner, Geoffrey Hendricks, Jackson Mac Low, Pauline Oliveros, and later, Jerome Rothenberg.
