• In no. 32 (April-May 1964), Evergreen changed its format and content. The plain paper, small octavo format was replaced with a glossy magazine quarto format, and the female nude made its first appearance. The issue was seized by Hicksville, Long Island, police because of its "obscenity"; it was also forbidden from being mailed to Great Britain.
• Issues in the collection also contain essays on the presidential candidacy of Hubert Humphrey, the Vietnam War, the Chicago Democratic Party convention of 1968, and fiction, poetry, and drama by Jean Genet, Norman Mailer, Michael McClure, Gary Snyder, Günter Grass, Samuel Beckett, and Eugene Ionesco.
