Extent: 55 items (.1 linear ft.) Content: Letters, posters, brochures, announcements, clippings, and poems. Access: The collection is open for research. Processed: January 1994 by Anita A. Wellner. Biographical Notes Charles Henri Ford Poet, artist, filmmaker, and editor, Charles Henri Ford was born on February 10, 1913, in Brookhaven, Mississippi. In 1929, having dropped out of high school, Ford began his literary career as co-editor, with Parker Tyler, of Blues: a magazine of new rhythms (1929-1930). Published in Columbus, Mississippi, this literary magazine showcased the new schools of modern art and literature, publishing such contemporary writers as Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Erskine Caldwell, Ezra Pound, and e. e. cummings. By 1931 Charles Henri Ford had left the United States for France, the beginning of his world travels. During his first few years abroad, Ford wrote his only novel, the classic The Young and the Evil (Obelisk, 1933). Since that time, Ford has lived in Morocco, Italy, France, Crete, and New York City; and his poetry, films, and artwork have reflected his international travels and multicultural experiences. From 1940 until 1947, Ford was editor and publisher of both the little magazine View and View editions. Published in New York, View featured the works of avant-garde American and European artists and writers, especially the surrealist artists. View, recognized as one of the most important little magazines of the 1940s, bore covers designed by such artists are Man Ray, René Magritte, Marcel Duchamp, and Alexander Calder, and contained the prose, fiction, critical essays, stories, and art of Wallace Stevens, Edouard Roditi, Max Ernst, Lincoln Kirstein, William Carlos Williams, Paul Bowles, James T. Farrell, Marc Chagall, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus. In addition to his editorial achievements, Charles Henri Ford is a recognized poet and an accomplished artist. Since his first book of poetry, A Pamphlet of Sonnets (Caravel Press, 1936), more than fifteen collections of his poems have been published, including his latest volume Out of the Labyrinth: selected poems (City Lights, 1991). Ford, whose poetry reflects his fascination with words and his ability to interconnect them in imaginative ways, is regarded as America's first surrealist poet. Charles Henri Ford is also a graphic artist, filmmaker and photographer. His photography, paintings, and drawings have been exhibited in London, Paris, and New York. Frequently Ford's exhibitions have included collaborations with international craftsmen. For example, "The Kathmandu Experience" (New York Cultural Center, 1975) included sculptures in wood, embroideries in silk and appliques, all executed by Nepalese craftsmen from Ford's original designs; and his "An Operation Minotaur Manifestation" (The October Gallery, 1976) included the collages of Nepalese artists, Reepak Shakya and Indra Tamang. Ford's motion pictures include Poem Posters (1966), which received the Fourth International Avant-Garde Film Festival Award in 1966, and Johnny Minotaur (1972). Recently, Ford has continued to write and explore artistic expression in a variety of formats, while dividing his time among residences in Paris, France; Xania, Crete; and New York City. Ted Joans African-American poet, jazz musician, and surrealist painter Ted Joans was born July 4, 1938, in Cairo, Illinois. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University in 1951. Through his associations with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, in Greenwich Village during the 1950s, Ted Joans has been identified as part of the Beat generation. In 1957, his first book of poetry, Beat Poems, was published by Deretchin, which also published his Funky Jazz Poems in 1959. In the 1960s Joans became an expatriate, traveling the world, and later settling in Tangier, Morocco. Continuing to paint and write poetry, Joans has supported himself primarily through the sale of African artwork, which he has collected during his travels in Africa. Some of his African experiences are reflected in the poems in his Afrodisia: new poems (1971). Joans was editor for Dies und Das (1984), the first surrealist magazine published in Germany, and has contributed to Black World, Coda Jazz Magazine, Jazz, and Presence Africaine. In 1989 his works-in-progress included A Black Man Guides You to Africa, Spadework: the autobiography of a hipster, Niggers in Outer Space: a black power novel, and I Black Surrealist.

Scope and Content Note This collection of forty-six letters written by Charles Henri Ford to Ted Joans, dates from 1964 to 1987. In them Ford describes his extensive world travels and his varied artistic and writing projects. Ford discusses his works-in-progress, including his collections of poetry, Spare Parts (Horizon Press, 1966), Om Krishna II (Cherry Valley Editions, 1981), and Om Krishna III (Red Ozier Press, 1982); and exhibitions of his work at the Cordier Edstrom Gallery (New York, 1965), the Robert Samuel Gallery (New York, 1980), and The October Gallery (New York, 1984). Charles Henri Ford also mentions other projects, such as filming Johnny Minotaur, compiling Blues 10, editing on a new edition of his only novel, The Young and the Evil, and composing a book titled Double Exposures. Ford also apprises Joans of his travels and their mutual friends, mentions fellow poets Allen Ginsberg and Harold Norse, and conveys information and greetings from his companion, Nepalese collagist and photographer Indra Tamang. The versos of some of the letters bear photocopies of collages (including images of Ford), an invitation to a party celebrating the publication of Om Krishna II, a review of Ford's film Johnny Minotaur, an article describing a New York party hosted by Ford, haikus written by Ford, a page from a play, and articles about Ford. Envelopes occasionally bear block prints or pasted on cutouts and cartoons which form mini collages. In addition to Ford's letters, this collection includes two notes from Ted Joans to Ford, one of which includes a poem written by Joans and dedicated to Ford. There are also several notes from Indra Tamang (enclosed in Ford's letters), a photocopied collage by Nepalese artist Reepak Shakya, two notes from Ruth Ford (Charles Henri Ford's sister) to Joans, and brochures for Ford's film, Johnny Minotaur, and a Paris museum. The collection also includes a poster for Ford's exhibition, "Layouts and Camouflages," at the Robert Samuel Gallery (New York, 1980). The letters are arranged in chronological order.

    Roditi, Edouard (1910-1992) by John McFarland Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Poet, translator, literary and art critic, and short story writer, Edouard Roditi was associated with most of the twentieth-century's avant-garde literary movements from Surrealism to post-modernism. For more than sixty years, he produced such an astonishing variety of smart, lively, and moving poetry and prose that nobody objected when he dubbed himself "The Pharaoh of Eclecticism." A member of several predominantly homosexual social circles, Roditi maintained friendships with literary and artistic figures ranging from Paul Bowles and Jean Cocteau to Paul Tchelitchew and Christian Dior. His art and literary criticism held artists and writers to the very highest standards and insisted that intense but uncritical infatuation with flashy new trends could end in disappointment and heartbreak. His Internationalist Birthright Roditi was born in Paris on June 6, 1910. He was the beneficiary of a remarkably rich confluence of heritages--Jewish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek--and was truly international, both American and European. His father, Oscar, an Italian born in Constantinople, had become a United States citizen after his father emigrated to America and gained citizenship. Although Oscar's father had left the family behind in Europe, all the family in Europe became citizens when he did by virtue of the citizenship statutes in force at that time. Roditi's mother, Violet, had an equally rich family history. She was born in France but became an English citizen in her youth. When she married Oscar, she too became a United States citizen.

[bottom] Detail of Dana Young cover for Ira Cohen’s Poem for La Malinche (Bardo Matrix, ca. 1974) and [right] Dana Young print of Ira Cohen, “The Master & the Owl,” (date unknown). Dana Young (ca. 1948–1979) Dana Young was an essential member of the Kathmandu psychedelic expatriate community of poets, musicians, artists, and spiritual seekers in the 1970s. His poetry and shamanic art blended Eastern spiritual imagery with American pop and consumer culture. He was an active member of the Bardo Matrix collective and is best known for his book Opium Elementals (Bardo Matrix, 1976) that features his beautiful woodblock prints along with two poems by Ira Cohen. He contributed to several other Bardo Matrix publications including Cohen’s Blue Oracle broadside (1975), the frontispiece to Paul Bowles’ Next to Nothing (1976), and Ira Cohen and Roberto Francisco Valenza’s Spirit Catcher! broadside (1976). His artwork also appears in publications such as Montana Gothic (1974) and Ins and Outs (1978). Dana designed the logo (included in the archive) for John Chick’s Rose Mushroom club located at the end of Jhochhen Tole, known as “Freak Street,” in Kathmandu. Most recently, one of Dana Young’s wood block prints was featured on the album cover of the recent release of Angus MacLise's Dreamweapon II.

    NY ACKER Awards Is Taken from an Archaic Dutch Word Meaning a Noticeable Movement in a Stream

    1 THE NYC ACKER AWARDS CREATOR & PRODUCER CLAYTON PATTERSON This is our 6th successful year of the ACKER Awards. The meaning of ACKER in the NY ACKER Awards is taken from an archaic Dutch word meaning a noticeable movement in a stream. The stream is the mainstream and the noticeable movement is the avant grade. By documenting my community, on an almost daily base, I have come to understand that gentrification is much more than the changing face of real estate and forced population migrations. The influence of gen- trification can be seen in where we live and work, how we shop, bank, communicate, travel, law enforcement, doctor visits, etc. We will look back and realize that the impact of gentrification on our society is as powerful a force as the industrial revolution was. I witness the demise and obliteration of just about all of the recogniz- able parts of my community, including so much of our history. I be- lieve if we do not save our own history, then who will. The NY ACKERS are one part of a much larger vision and ambition. A vision and ambition that is not about me but it is about community. Our community. Our history. The history of the Individuals, the Outsid- ers, the Outlaws, the Misfits, the Radicals, the Visionaries, the Dream- ers, the contributors, those who provided spaces and venues which allowed creativity to flourish, wrote about, talked about, inspired, mentored the creative spirit, and those who gave much, but have not been, for whatever reason, recognized by the mainstream.

    more information - www.cambridge.org/9780521196574 W. H. AUDen IN COnteXT W. H. Auden is a giant of twentieth-century English poetry whose writings demonstrate a sustained engagement with the times in which he lived. But how did the century’s shifting cultural terrain affect him and his work? Written by distinguished poets and schol- ars, these brief but authoritative essays offer a varied set of coor- dinates by which to chart Auden’s continuously evolving career, examining key aspects of his environmental, cultural, political, and creative contexts. Reaching beyond mere biography, these essays present Auden as the product of ongoing negotiations between him- self, his time, and posterity, exploring the enduring power of his poetry to unsettle and provoke. The collection will prove valuable for scholars, researchers, and students of English literature, cultural studies, and creative writing. Tony Sharpe is Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University. He is the author of critically acclaimed books on W. H. Auden, T. S. Eliot, Vladimir Nabokov, and Wallace Stevens. His essays on modernist writing and poetry have appeared in journals such as Critical Survey and Literature and Theology, as well as in various edited collections. W. H.

    Fall 2016 Graduate Seminars Fall 2016

    Fall 2016 Graduate Seminars Fall 2016 ENG 751 R: Nineteenth-Century American Literature: Nineteenth-Century Temporalities Benjamin Reiss Tuesdays 4-7 pm Concepts of time structure every field of inquiry, from relativity in physics to rhythm in music, from deep time in geology to the periodization of art, literature, and history. Some systems of time are derived from the natural world (the cycle of seasons, the rising and falling of the sun, circadian rhythms), whereas others are completely culturally constructed (seven days in a week, sixty seconds in a minute, twelve days of Christmas, etc.) This course will explore how conceptions of time such as periodization, lineage, and contemporaneity structure our understanding of literary works; how we can grasp the temporal experience of reading as a part of interpretation; and how literature of the American nineteenth century reflected and responded to contemporaneous temporal systems. These latter developments include industrial time, notions of progress and history, sacred time, domestic timekeeping, geological time, and standardized time, each of which influenced notions of race, ability, sexuality, gender, and national identity. Literary authors to be studied will likely include Cooper, Melville, Whitman, Stowe, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Douglass, Jewett, Twain, Bellamy, and Gilman. Critics and theorists will include Karl Marx, G.W.F. Hegel, Benedict Anderson, Johannes Fabian, E. P. Thompson, Jack Halberstam, Michelle Wright, Paul Gilroy, Wai Chee Dimock, Dana Luciano, Cody Marrs, and Virginia

The University's history provides uniquely fertile ground for studies of diverse groups and their interactions in institutions of higher education, but the lack of a functioning archives has long impeded such study. It was a pioneer in women's colleges, intended to serve the educational needs of all economic classes, teaching Latin and penmanship alongside dressmaking and stenography. It also offers the distinctive perspective of a college explicitly founded for white women that underwent integration in the 1960s, which is still largely unexplored in MUW's case. Finally, it is distinctive in being both the first publicly funded women's college in the United States, and also the last one.
