I don't guess you ever heard of The First Third or
Grace Beats Karma, Cassady was published, do the research man

I said he "never published a word during his lifetime". He died in 1968. "The First Third" wasn't published until 1971 and "Grace Beats Karma", which I must admit I hadn't heard of before, wasn't published until 1993, according to Amazon.com.

I did the research, but thanks for the comment just the same.
