Scott Apel will write a new introduction of Chaos and Beyond, Rasa has announced. Hilaritas Press is putting out a new edition soon of the book Chaos and Beyond, an anthology, originally issued in 1994, of material from the Trajectories newsletter put out by RAW and Apel. It's mostly pieces written by RAW, but there are also contributions from folks such as Arlen Wilson and Timothy Leary.
I asked Scott about this and he said he doesn't know yet what he's going to write about.
"All I have so far is an epigram, an introductory quote, from Blazing Saddles:
Mayor Johnson: “Goddamn it, I said ‘Order”!”
Howard Johnson: “Y’know, Nietzche says, out of chaos comes order.”
Olson Johnson: “Ah, blow it out your ass, Howard.”
So an auspicious start, anyway. 😁"
Beyond Chaos and Beyond, the 2019 book Apel edited, is kind of a companion book to Chaos and Beyond. Here is the review I wrote when it came out.

My initial takeaway while in the midst of my second read of this is that Arlen was quite the poet.
