Biography Bernadette Mayer was born on May 12, 1945, in Brooklyn, New York. She received her B.A. from the New School for Social Research in 1967, shortly after which she began teaching there on a part-time, semi-permanent basis. From 1967-1969, Mayer and conceptual artist Vito Acconci edited the experimental journal 0 to 9, which published work from experimentalists in a range of genres and media. In the early 1970s, Mayer lived with film-maker Ed Bowes, with whom she collaborated on numerous projects. In 1975, Mayer married writer and publisher Lewis Warsh, with whom she had three children. Warsh and Mayer collaboratively edited United Artists press, which published a number of seminal books of poetry, including Ted Berrigan's Sonnets and Mayer's own Utopia. Throughout the 1980s, Mayer was director of The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church in New York where, as well as teaching writing workshops, she produced the Poetry Project's reading series. Mayer's position made her a central figure in the community of artists and writers gathered at that time in New York City's Lower East Side, and many of her students from this period—Lee Ann Brown and Lisa Jarnot among them—have gone on to become writers themselves. As a writer, Mayer is most often associated with the New York School, a rubric which refers to composers, painters, visual artists, conceptual artists, and choreographers in addition to writers. Mayer's use of compositional methods such as chance-operation, collage, and cut-up identify her as an artist pursuing concerns similar to those of John Cage, Jackson Mac Low or Frank O'Hara—central figures in the New York School—as well as more contemporary figures associated with L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E writing. But Mayer's work is also significantly influenced by modernist figures such as James Joyce and Gertrude Stein, as well as by her background in classical studies, evident in her syllabi, reading lists and in her informal translations of Catullus. Mayer's publications include: Ceremony Latin (1964), Story (1968), Moving (1971), Memory (1975), Studying Hunger (1975), Poetry (1976), Eruditio ex Memoria (1977), The Golden Book of Words (1978), Midwinter Day (1982), Utopia (1984), Sonnets (1989), The Formal Field of Kissing (1990), A Bernadette Mayer Reader (1992), The Desires of Mothers to Please Others in Letters (1994), Proper Name and Other Stories (1996), Another Smashed Pinecone (1998), Two Haloed Mourners (1998), Scarlet Tanager (2005), The Cave (with Clark Coolidge, 2008), Poetry State Forest (2008), Ethics of Sleep (2011), The Helens of Troy, New York (2013), and At Maureen's (2013).

WRITINGS Scope and Content of Series Series 3) WRITINGS : Arranged in three subseries: A) Collected, B) Uncollected, and C) School Papers. A) Collected: Manuscript and typescript drafts of Mayer's published and unpublished writings, arranged alphabetically by title. Most notable among the former are the slides and reel-to-reel tape recordings that formed the basis for Memory, and extensive notes and source materials for Utopia. Most notable among the latter are a collaboration with Alice Notley, a collaboration with Bill Berkson, longer works of Mayer's such as "Mind of Hour," and extensions of published works such as The Studying Hunger Journals. In cases where Mayer's purpose appears to be other than that of publication (as in the working folder entitled "To Type or Work On"), poems and drafts of poems have been listed and refiled in the Uncollected subseries. Original sound recordings for Memory and a floppy disk for Utopia are restricted; researchers may inquire about access in advance of their visit. B) Uncollected: Uncollected writings filed individually and alphabetized according to title or first line. Included are drafts of individual poems and pieces of writing with typescript and holograph corrections and emendations. C) School Papers: Mayer's academic papers from high school and college, including reading notes, early drafts and corrections. Notebooks containing college work are located at the beginning of Series 4.
