Worth the PriceBy PublicagentAbsolutely stunning! I had not really read Lamantia before, but I picked this up the other day in City Lights and could not stop reading. His early poems are astounding and refreshingly surrealist. I have nearly completed the text and I can honestly say it's been a thrilling ride to go on the wild, spiritual, alchemical, chronological journey of Philip Lamantia's poetry.The introduction is brilliant, one of the better intros of poets that I have read. It's over fifty pages, and it provides critical biographical information and insight into Lamantia's poetry and his life. It reads as a companion to the poetry itself. The writing of the introduction is very strong.I also want to comment on the length of the text. It's under 500 pages, but wow, many publishing houses would have made this 800! How? First, the introduction is all in roman numerals. Second, the editors do not feel the need to start a new poem on every page. They start the next poem after the previous poem ends with just the right amount of spacing. The poems do not feel jumbled together at all. What you end up with is a lot more poetry per page.I also love the overall layout. It's very clean, the dust jacket is great, and the break-down of poems by books and publication in this volume is clearly explained in the intro. The only thing I was not clear on is what is left out of this substantial volume. From a quick survey of the table of contents, which reads "From..., From...., From...," the reader can get the wrong impression that it's a middling sampling. It's impressively generous, and I could not have been more satisfied. The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia represents the lifework of the most visionary poet of the American postwar generation. Philip Lamantia (1927-2005) played a major role in shaping the poetics of both the Beat and the Surrealist movements in the United States. First mentored by the San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth, the teenage Lamantia also came to the attention of the French Surrealist leader André Breton, who, after reading Lamantia’s youthful work, hailed him as a “voice that rises once in a hundred years.” Later, Lamantia went “on the road” with Jack Kerouac and shared the stage with Allen Ginsberg at the famous Six Gallery reading in San Francisco, where Ginsburg first read “Howl.” Throughout his life, Lamantia sought to extend and renew the visionary tradition of Romanticism in a distinctly American vernacular, drawing on mystical lore and drug experience in the process. The Collected Poems gathers not only his published work but also an extensive selection of unpublished or uncollected work; the editors have also provided a biographical introduction. From BookforumThe Collected Poems offers a wide-angle view on a career that waxed and waned—sometimes owing to the author’s struggle with depression—over several decades. The very nature of Lamantia’s lifelong project—to seek the unities between opposites—predicates the likelihood of missed marks. From line to line, book to book, the quest is risky, the collisions fraught with possibility as much as with annihilation. It is precisely this deliberate courting of failure that makes him such a compelling writer and a model for any poet who might prize safety over audacity. The pursuit of marvelous unities is, this Collected Poems reveals, a turbulent and uncertain one. —Albert Mobilio "When The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia is released later this summer, UC Press will bring long overdue attention to one of the most significant poets of the twentieth century."

    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).

BLAKE OR SEVERAL YEARS Bernard H. Porter, Colby 1932, has been Fcontributing his own work, his source material, and the relevant works of his associates to the Robinson Rare Book Room in the Colby College Library. Porter, a physicist who worked on the atomic bomb project during World War II and left it after Hiroshima, has been active in photography, illustra­ tion, writing, publishing and printing. He has been particularly interested in combinations of art forms and new and experi­ mental work. Much of his time during the 1940s and 50s was spent in California, where he contributed considerable material to little magazines and was particularly active in the formation and publication of four. The earliest, The Leaves Fall, was edited in Ohio from 1942-1945 by his friend Fred Lingel, an engineer. This four­ page leaflet, the only one of the four not published in Cali­ fornia, offered Porter a vehicle for his poems, essays, aphorisms and drawings, as well as an occasional chance to edit an issue.

  • Papers of Surrealism, Issue 8, Spring 2010 1
    © Lizzie Thynne, 2010 Indirect Action: Politics and the Subversion of Identity in Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore’s Resistance to the Occupation of Jersey Lizzie Thynne Abstract This article explores how Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore translated the strategies of their artistic practice and pre-war involvement with the Surrealists and revolutionary politics into an ingenious counter-propaganda campaign against the German Occupation. Unlike some of their contemporaries such as Tristan Tzara and Louis Aragon who embraced Communist orthodoxy, the women refused to relinquish the radical relativism of their approach to gender, meaning and identity in resisting totalitarianism. Their campaign built on Cahun’s theorization of the concept of ‘indirect action’ in her 1934 essay, Place your Bets (Les paris sont ouvert), which defended surrealism in opposition to both the instrumentalization of art and myths of transcendence. An examination of Cahun’s post-war letters and the extant leaflets the women distributed in Jersey reveal how they appropriated and inverted Nazi discourse to promote defeatism through carnivalesque montage, black humour and the ludic voice of their adopted persona, the ‘Soldier without a Name.’ It is far from my intention to reproach those who left France at the time of the Occupation. But one must point out that Surrealism was entirely absent from the preoccupations of those who remained because it was no help whatsoever on an emotional or practical level in their struggles against the Nazis.1 Former dadaist and surrealist and close collaborator of André Breton, Tristan Tzara thus dismisses the idea that surrealism had any value in opposing Nazi domination.

New York: Metropolitcan Museum of Art / New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2017, pp. 64-75 Lucy Bradnock Then you will have taught him to dance upside down As in the mania of the dancehalls, And this upside down Will be his real place. Antonin Artaud1 According to countercultural legend, at some point in the early 1960s, the French artist and activist Jean-Jacques Lebel broke into the Paris headquarters of the radio station Radiodiffusion Française, emerging with a taped copy of the controversial radio play Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu by Antonin Artaud (1896–1948). The play had been commissioned from the dissident Surrealist writer in 1947 but censored prior to the scheduled broadcast, its vitriolic criticism of American militarism, decadent bourgeois society, and organized religion apparently proving too controversial in the aftermath of World War II and the era of the Marshall Plan. More than a decade later, the recording retained an aura of transgression. Lebel organized underground gatherings to listen; he shared the tape with poet Allen Ginsberg, who in turn sent copies to poet Michael McClure, radical theatermakers Judith Malina and Julian Beck, poet Jack Hirschman and radio producer Ruth Hirschman (who broadcast it on the West Coast KPFK radio 1 station in 1964), and poet and Civil Rights activist LeRoi Jones (later Amiri Baraka).2 Many were already familiar with the work of the controversial writer, following the publication in translation of a number of his poems, letters, and theatre manifestoes.

  • Surrealism, Occultism and Politics
    Surrealism, Occultism and Politics This volume examines the relationship between occultism and Surrealism, specif- ically exploring the reception and appropriation of occult thought, motifs, tropes and techniques by surrealist artists and writers in Europe and the Americas from the 1920s through the 1960s. Its central focus is the specific use of occultism as a site of political and social resistance, ideological contestation, subversion and revolution. Additional focus is placed on the ways occultism was implicated in surrealist dis- courses on identity, gender, sexuality, utopianism and radicalism. Dr. Tessel M. Bauduin is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer at the Uni- versity of Amsterdam. Dr. Victoria Ferentinou is an Assistant Professor at the University of Ioannina.
