Extractions: In other words, if you publish in Poetry magazine, it's great. You get paid money. You get people reading it all through the country. But, in the long run, if you're participating in one of these things, then you have to say "yeah, I read Poetry myself" - Poetry magazine, that is - which I don't, and wouldn't, because I don't believe in the society that it creates. - Jack Spicer, "Poetry and Politics" I N HIS ESSAY "Spicer's Language ," Ron Silliman observes that Jack Spicer's third poem "for Poetry Chicago" ("In the far, fat Vietnamese jungle nothing grows") contains what is likely a reference to John Berryman's "Dream Song 27" ("The greens of the Ganges delta foliate"), which appeared in the fiftieth-anniversary double issue of Poetry. Silliman's observation serves to illustrate his claim that although the covers of Spicer's Language and Book of Magazine Verse share a format (both books mimic the covers of specific magazines

Jack Spicer's Ecotopia A Celebration a tribute with readings by James Alexander,David Bromige, Wesley Day, Lew Ellingham, Gerald Fabian, Nemi Frost, Larry
http://www.sptraffic.org/html/authors/spicer.html

Extractions: Jack Spicer (1925-1965), one of the most important postmodern poets, was born in Los Angeles but worte most of his major work here in San Francisco, where he died at age 40. Spicer was the center of an active community of poets and visual artists who roved from North Beach to Aquatic Park, Polk Gulch to Candlestick Park. A passionate nevironmentalist and city theorist, Spicer wrote: "True conservation is the effort of the artist and the private man to keep things true ... Death is not final. Only parking lots." Two new books explore Spicer's legacy: The House That Jack Built: The Collected Lectures of Jack Spicer , edited by Peter Gizzi, and a biography, Poet Be Like God: Jack Spicer and the San Francisco Renaissance , by Lew Ellingham and Kevin Killian (both volumes from Wesleyan University Press/University Presses of New England). Tonight, Ellingham, Gizzi and Killian will appear and discuss their books, then turn over the floor to many of Jack Spicer's contemporaries artists, writers, thinkers who will each read from his work. "Our city shall stand as the lumber rots and Runcible mountain crumbles, and the ocean, eating all of islands, comes to meet us."

http://www.kokonino.com/spicer-bio.html

Extractions: To show you where James Joyce stood with the literary establishment as of 1959, the Times 's (which Times The Times ) review of the first edition of Richard Ellman's biography opined: "If Joyce be a great writer, then this be a great book." And Ellman's publishers were so desperate that they had to use it as a blurb. Well, we know who finally won that little point. After all, how many books criticizing the gender politics of the London Times do you see in bookstores? Too few, that's for sure. And so we see that, even though it might take a while, a big fat scholarly biography is necessary to make a big fat writer socially acceptable. Why necessary? First, because grad students like to cite things. But also to keep us from getting too distracted by questions like "Did Samuel Beckett maintain one boil for a very long time or did many shorter-lived boils infest him in sequence?" That way we can enjoy the writer's work while we're reading it without worrying that we'll be left without something nasty to say about the writer at parties. Lew Ellingham's and Kevin Killian's biography of Jack Spicer does its job well. It's a tough job, a dirty job, a thankless job. But, by Poet, they did it, as proven by the confused boredom of reviewers and the prickly offense of friends. As for myself, all my vulgar curiosities have been sated and put away for the winter, and I'm much the better for it.

Jack Spicer: Bio Notes & Publications
"Thing Language". by jack spicer. This ocean, humiliating in its disguises
http://wings.buffalo.edu/epc/authors/spicer/spicer-pub.html

Extractions: Spicer has a relatively complex history of publication, given that several of his books were published only posthumously; these mss. were either withheld or appeared during his lifetime in small poetry zines. The following bibliography has been arranged by category and in roughly chronological order of publication. Some of the books have gone through various permutations after Spicer's death (mostly new editions by different publishers, but with a peculiar instability re title etcetera); only the most familiar editions appear. For a more expansive list, cf. the bibliography in California Librarian (full citation below) and Robin Blaser's detailed bibliography in The Collected Books After Lorca (San Francisco: White Rabbit Press, Nov-Dec 1957) Homage to Creeley (Annapolis, CA: privately printed by Harold and Dore Dull, Summer 1959) Billy the Kid (Stinson Beach CA: Enkidu Surrogate, Oct 1959) illus.

Extractions: The morning before Slingbot's party, Ralston had a dream.It was not a nice dream and, for that matter, the hotel bed was not a nice bed to dream in. He was a large city on acoast (rather like Atlantic City) and was about to build a large apartment house out of sand. The beach from which he was to gather the sand was covered with bench umbrellas which were of every color that anyone, even in a dream, could possibly imagine and he could see the gray water behind the beach umbrellas slopping away at its own purposes.

Jacket 7 - Peter Gizzi - Introduction To Jack Spicer's 3rd
Peter Gizzi Introduction to jack spicer's 3rd Vancouver Lecture ( June 17 1965 )
http://www.jacket.zip.com.au/jacket07/spicer-lect3intro.html

Extractions: T Vancouver lecture is in many ways the most contrary and least accessible of Spicer's lectures, but it may also be the one that most repays the study it requires. On the surface, the lecture strays and rambles, but interspersed in the repartee of questions and answers are some of Spicer's most interesting and enigmatic statements on his art. Prism and Tish [ Note: Prism , later called Prism International , was a literary magazine connected with the Creative Writing Program at the University of British Columbia. Tish , edited by Frank Davey, George Bowering, David Dawson, Jamie Reid, and Fred Wah, was founded in 1961 partly as a reaction against Prism and partly in response to Robert Duncan's then recent series of lectures. Warren Tallman wrote of the Tish scene: "the Tish poets were very much like the fools who rush in where more cautious men fear to tread. And did rush in, managing to create a wonderfully garbled, goofy, and in many ways ludicrous Vancouver version of the poetics Duncan had turned loose. But great energy and liveliness were exerted, interesting poems were written, and talent had a favorable milieu in which to gain footing and grow"(25).] Again, it is important to realize that Spicer repeatedly creates and sustains around him a vortex of dissent, but he is no less utopian in his thinking because of it. In many ways, dissent is Spicer's utopia. Since a community of heterogeneous members could never live in agreement without becoming a tyranny, it seems the only hope would be to value instead its disagreements, to see argument as progressive, and to create a context for heterodoxy.

Extractions: P OETRY, if it is any good in the sheer dialogical terms of uncanny otherness, comes from the discourse of the far future. The language of poetry can speak, again and again, the contemporary crisis that is postmodernity. That is to say, poetry arises out of and speaks not so much from the liberal-humanistic ego terms of the romantic past, but from within the syntax and diction ( discourse ) of a post-war, "post-humanist" future as yet unknown and unsaid. This US future in Spicer speaks through the "un/American" language of the poet who is not just speaking the voice of himself/herself, but more likely bespeaking (or trying at pains to express) what Barrett Watten (like Fredric Jameson in another, more sublime key) has theorized as the "total syntax" of our social-structural situation. Writing the contemporary , so to speak, from within its language binds and discontinuous bounds.

The House That jack Built The Collected Lectures of jack spicer spicer, jack. Illuminatesjack spicers provocative lectures on radical poetics.
http://www.dartmouth.edu/acad-inst/upne/0-8195-6340-4.html

Extractions: The House That Jack Built collects for the first time the four historic talks given by controversial poet Jack Spicer just before his early death in 1965. These lively and provocative lectures function as a gloss to Spicer's own poetry, a general discourse on poetics, and a cautionary handbook for young poets. This long-awaited document of Spicer's unorthodox poetic vision, what Robin Blaser has called "the practice of outside," is an authoritative edition of an underground classic. Peter Gizzi's afterword elucidates some of the fundamental issues of Spicer's poetry and lectures, including the concept of poetic dictation, which Spicer renovates with vocabularies of popular culture: radio, Martians, and baseball; his use of the California landscape as a backdrop for his poems; and his visual imagination in relation to the aesthetics of west-coast funk assemblage. This book delivers a firsthand account of the contrary and turbulent poetics that define Spicer's ongoing contribution to an international avant-garde.

Jacket 7 - Jack Spicers Hell In Homage To Creeley
Kristin Prevallet jack spicers Hell in Homage to Creeley . Codes CB=The CollectedBooks of jack spicer, edited by Robin Blaser (Black Sparrow, 1975).
http://www.jacket.zip.com.au/jacket07/spicer-prevallet.html

Extractions: In Hell, Blake found himself in a printing house and "saw the method in which knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation"(Erdman, 40). In hell Jack Spicer found the way in which knowledge is transmitted to poets, and scared himself, and all of his friends. Through the Heads of the Town runs "the business of the pathway down into Hell and the methods of communication"(HJB, 19). Spicer said that "Homage to Creeley / Explanatory Notes" the first poetic composition in the 3-part book The Heads of the Town Up to the Aether is analogous with Dantes "Inferno." No wise Virgil, it is Orpheus, Eurydice, and Heurtebise those dysfunctional guides upon whom Spicer relies as he forges ahead into this strange poetic concoction. Hell is not a landscape, and love is not a sentiment. Both are words, first and foremost, that drive the poems through the rhymes and puns they catalyze. The poems are a machine that turns the poet inside out in his effort to hear transmissions which will take him from one place to another. Hell is not a place, but a flaming billboard where the words H-E-L-L appear for the rhyme, and go along for the ride.
