    Journal of Surrealism and the Americas 9:1 (2016), 40-61 40 Radio Transmission Electricity and Surrealist Art in 1950s and ‘60s San Francisco R. Bruce Elder Ryerson University Among the most erudite of the San Francisco Renaissance writers was the poet and Zen Buddhist priest Philip Whalen (1923–2002). In “‘Goldberry is Waiting’; Or, P.W., His Magic Education As A Poet,” Whalen remarks, I saw that poetry didn’t belong to me, it wasn’t my province; it was older and larger and more powerful than I, and it would exist beyond my life-span. And it was, in turn, only one of the means of communicating with those worlds of imagination and vision and magical and religious knowledge which all painters and musicians and inventors and saints and shamans and lunatics and yogis and dope fiends and novelists heard and saw and ‘tuned in’ on. Poetry was not a communication from ME to ALL THOSE OTHERS, but from the invisible magical worlds to me . everybody else, ALL THOSE OTHERS.1 The manner of writing is familiar: it is peculiar to the San Francisco Renaissance, but the ideas expounded are common enough: that art mediates between a higher realm of pure spirituality and consensus reality is a hallmark of theopoetics of any stripe. Likewise, Whalen’s claim that art conveys a magical and religious experience that “all painters and musicians and inventors and saints and shamans and lunatics and yogis and dope fiends and novelists . ‘turned in’ on” is characteristic of the San Francisco Renaissance in its rhetorical manner, but in its substance the assertion could have been made by vanguard artists of diverse allegiances (a fact that suggests much about the prevalence of theopoetics in oppositional poetics).

Wagner, Chair Professor Emeritus T.J. Clark Professor Emerita Kaja Silverman Spring 2013 Abstract House Work: Domesticity, Belonging, and Salvage in the Art of Jess, 1955-1991 by Tara McDowell Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Emerita Anne M. Wagner, Chair This dissertation examines the work of the San Francisco-based artist Jess (1923-2004). Jess’s multimedia and cross-disciplinary practice, which takes the form of collage, assemblage, drawing, painting, film, illustration, and poetry, offers a perspective from which to consider a matrix of issues integral to the American postwar period. These include domestic space and labor; alternative family structures; myth, rationalism, and excess; and the salvage and use of images in the atomic age. The dissertation has a second protagonist, Robert Duncan (1919-1988), preeminent American poet and Jess’s partner and primary interlocutor for nearly forty years. Duncan and Jess built a household and a world together that transgressed boundaries between poetry and painting, past and present, and acknowledged the limits and possibilities of living and making daily.

The Black Sparrow Spicer, as $35.00 cloth. an object, communicates a certain version of Spicer that is as neces- sary as it is incomplete. The cover illustration depicts the tarot deck’s Four of Cups—a pensive-seeming man under a tree, with three chalices in front of him, and a fourth chalice ostensibly being of- fered by a hand reaching out from a cloud. Are we to imagine Spicer as the pensive man in his cups, or is Spicer the hand extending a fourth chalice (in which the pen- sive man qua reader shows little evident interest)? Of course there are many ways to interpret any tarot.

  • The Kenning Anthology of Poets Theater: 1945-1985, Edited by Kevin Killian and David Brazil
    A preview of The Kenning Anthology of Poets Theater: 1945-1985, edited by Kevin Killian and David Brazil (Kenning Editions, 2010). All rights reserved by the author and Kenningeditions.com i Introduction Why Poets Theater? Kevin Killian and David Brazil POETS THEATER IS FIRST AND FOREMOST about the scene of its production. This is a social scene, but it is also, crucially, a geographical scene, and the two are complexly interwoven. The locales of poets theater are vortices, almost in the Poundian sense—self-interfering energy patterns like lightning rods, established to receive the influxes of new energy from whatever direction (young people, passers-through, wild cards, etc.). Major efflorescences happen in both a place and a time; the cultural production of poets theater manifests itself in periodic form, usually a brief window of years. During the past eighteen months, while assembling this anthology of US poets theater work from the period between 1945 and 1985, we—Kevin Killian and David Brazil—have looked to previous anthologies for inspiration. And for content too. In Michael Slater and Cynthia Savage’s anthology Poets Theatre: A Collection of Recent Works (Ailanthus Press, 1981), we first read Ted Greenwald’s The Coast, as well as the excerpt we print here from Bob Holman and Bob Rosenthal’s adaptation of Ted Berrigan’s “Western” Clear the Range. In Richard Kostelanetz’ performance-oriented collection Scenarios: Scripts to Perform (Assembling Press, 1980), we found Bruce Andrews and Lorenzo Thomas—well, their plays, that is. (Scenarios also contains Keith Waldrop’s play The Same Sensation, but we already “had” that; in fact it was Waldrop who pointed the way to Scenarios.

We aspire to spark both experimentation and social engagement. As we collectively try to make sense of today’s polarized culture, conflicting values, distortions of truth, denials of science, and pervasive strains of anti- intellectualism, now all heightened in California by the trauma of the devastating wildfires, we at di Rosa feel compelled to show why art matters. We need to demonstrate how artists can be a resource and an asset to the pressing concerns of our time. And we need to rethink the role of cultural organizations and the civic dimension they can embrace by serving as a convener on both the local and the global stage, bringing together multiple perspectives and people from all ages and walks of life. In pursuit of such lofty and necessary goals, di Rosa is pleased to present the landmark exhibition Be Not Still: Living in Uncertain Times. We regard it as a launchpad for a future that dares to make art essential to the human experience.
