  • Radio Transmission Electricity and Surrealist Art in 1950S and '60S San
    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).

    A CONVERSATION WITH DAVID MELTZER by Steven Gray April 6, 2015 ______________________________________________________ SG: Hello David. Meltzer: Hello. SG: Can you hear me OK? Meltzer: Let me get out of this particular space. Hold on, I’m hobbling. This is what I do. SG: No problem. Meltzer: I’m going outside. SG: Is the sun out? Meltzer: It’s out, but it’s having to work hard through gloomy clouds. Can you hear me? SG: Yes I can. I’ve got you on speaker-phone and I have a little tape recorder here. Meltzer: Ok. SG: I picked up your book this morning at City Lights [TWO-WAY MIRROR - A Poetry Notebook]. I read most of it and I’ve been taking notes. I may run a few questions by you based on things I read in your book. Meltzer: Alright. That seems fair enough. SG: First, you originally published it in 1977. Meltzer: 1977, yes. This is the new improved, amended edition. SG: What were you doing back in ‘77? 1 Meltzer: Let me think. (laughs) SG: I know, it was a while ago. Meltzer: ’77. I’m trying to think when I started teaching at New College when they began their poetics program. I’m bad with some dates and that’s one of them. I was also teaching in a men’s prison. SG: Which one? Meltzer: Vacaville, for about three years or more. Then Reagan, the governor then, started cutting back on any kind of education and so forth in the prison system. SG: I remember that.

In 2012 he was nominated for the Northern California Book Award in Poetry.

Negro Anthology. 4to, illustrations, fold-out map, original brown linen over beveled boards, lettered and stamped in red, top edge stained brown. London: Published by Nancy Cunard at Wishart & Co, 1934. First edition, first issue binding, of this landmark anthology. Nancy Cunard, an independently wealthy English heiress, edited Negro Anthology with her African-American lover, Henry Crowder, to whom she dedicated the anthology, and published it at her own expense in an edition of 1000 copies. Cunard’s seminal compendium of prose, poetry, and musical scores chiefly reflecting the black experience in the United States was a socially and politically radical expression of Cunard’s passionate activism, her devotion to civil rights and her vehement anti-fascism, which, not surprisingly given the times in which she lived, contributed to a communist bias that troubles some critics of Cunard and her anthology. Cunard’s account of the trial of the Scottsboro Boys, published in 1932, provoked racist hate mail, some of which she published in the anthology. Among the 150 writers who contributed approximately 250 articles are W. E. B. Du Bois, Arna Bontemps, Sterling Brown, Countee Cullen, Alain Locke, Arthur Schomburg, Samuel Beckett, who translated a number of essays by French writers; Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, George Antheil, Ezra Pound, Theodore Dreiser, among many others.

  • The Lew Welch
    Lew Welch: Hermit Poet of Rat Flat Jane Falk The University of Arkon Introduction In May of 1971, Lew Welch disappeared into the woods surrounding Kitkitdizze, poet Gary Snyder’s home, and into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. He had taken a gun and left a farewell note. Despite some supposed sightings and a prolonged search, his body was never found, and no trace of Welch has been seen since. The consensus at the time was that he had committed suicide on some high rock outcropping leaving his body for the vultures (his totem animal) to find. Welch had suffered from lifelong depression and alcohol abuse. He seemed to have been given a last chance at putting his life together when Snyder and other members of the Bald Mountain Association agreed to allow him to build a cabin on land near Snyder’s home. Welch had organized friends to help construct the cabin and had sent out requests for the loan of money to friends and family, receiving a positive response. He saw building this hermit’s cabin as a last chance to put his life together without alcohol and went on Antabuse. Unfortunately, he periodically stopped the drug so he could continue to drink, according to Aram Saroyan in Genesis Angels, and this, coupled with the depressive aspect of Antabuse itself, could have led to suicidal tendencies (127). Welch’s mysterious and complete disappearance can be likened to that of the Chinese hermit poet, Han Shan, who lived in the T’ang Dynasty and whose poems Snyder had translated in the 1950s as Cold Mountain Poems.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-18445-9 — The Cambridge Companion to the Beats Edited by Steven Belletto Frontmatter More Information i The Cambridge Companion to the Beats The Cambridge Companion to the Beats offers an in- depth overview of one of the most innovative and popular literary periods in America, the Beat era. The Beats were a literary and cultural phenomenon originating in New York City in the 1940s that reached worldwide signii cance. Although its most well- known i gures remain Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, the Beat Movement radiates out to encompass a rich diversity of i gures and texts that merit further study. Consummate innovators, the Beats had a profound effect not only on the direction of American literature but also on models of sociopolitical critique that would become more widespread in the 1960s and beyond. Bringing together the most inl uential Beat scholars writing today, this Companion provides a comprehensive exploration of the Beat Movement, asking critical questions about its associated i gures and arguing for their importance to postwar American letters. Steven Belletto is Associate Professor of English at Lafayette College. He is the author of No Accident, Comrade: Chance and Design in Cold War American Narratives (2012) and a co- editor of American Literature and Culture in an Age of Cold War: A Critical Reassessment (2012). The author of numerous articles on post- 1945 American literature and culture that have appeared in journals such as American Literature , American Quarterly , ELH , and Twentieth- Century Literature , from 2011 to 2016 he was associate editor of the journal Contemporary Literature , and is currently an editor there.
