    http://epc.buffalo.edu/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.

22. Jack Spicer: Second Letter (from Admonitions)
    1958 copyright © 1975 by the Estate of jack spicer reprinted from The CollectedBooks of jack spicer with the permission of Black Sparrow Press all materials

    Extractions: Dear Robin, Enclosed you find the first of the publications of White Rabbit Press. The second will be much handsomer. You are right that I don't now need your criticisms of individual poems. But I still want them. It's probably from old habit - but it's an awfully old habit. Halfway through After Lorca I discovered that I was writing a book instead of a series of poems and individual criticism by anyone suddenly became less important. This is true of my Admonitions which I will send you when complete. (I have eight of them already and there will probably be fourteen including, of course, this letter.) The trick naturally is what Duncan learned years ago and tried to teach us - not to search for the perfect poem but to let your way of writing of the moment go along its own paths, explore and retreat but never by fully realized (confined) within the boundaries of one poem. This is where we were wrong and he was right, but he complicated things for us by saying that there is no such thing as good or bad poetry. There is - but not in relation to a single poem. There is really no single poem. That is why all my stuff from the past (except the Elegies and Troilus ) looks foul to me. The poems belong nowhere. They are one night stands filled (the best of them) with their own emotions, but pointing nowhere, as meaningless as sex in a Turkish bath. It was not my anger or my frustration that got in the way of my poetry but the fact that I viewed each anger and each frustration as unique - something to be converted into poetry as one would exchange foreign money. I learned this from the English Department (and from the English Department of the spirit - that great quagmire that lurks at the bottom of all of us) and it ruined ten years of my poetry. Look at those other poems. Admire them if you like. They are beautiful but dumb.

23. Jack Spicer: The Tower Of Babel
    jack spicer The Tower of Babel. According to Edward Foster's jack spicer,he was among the most influencial poets of his generation.

    Extractions: Paper, $12.95, ISBN: 1-883689-04-x Cloth, $33.95, ISBN: 1-883689-05-8 An established writer from an Eastern college returning to his former San Francisco haunts becomes entangled in a labyrinthine series of events that culminate in the sudden, violent death of a respected poet. Described by Lewis Ellingham and Kevin Killian as a "satric look at the private world of poetry gone public in the wake of the Six Gallery Howl reading of October, 1955," The Tower of Babel included finely detailed sketches of the San Francisco poetry world and gay life as they existed then. Jack Spicer (1925-1965) was a key figure in the San Francisco Renaissance, closely associated with the poets Robert Duncan, Richard Brautigan, and Robin Blaser. According to Edward Foster's Jack Spicer , he "was among the most influencial poets of his generation. Thousands of poems and books were written under his tutelage and criticism." Spicer's "Vancouver Lectures" (collected in The House that Jack Built , edited by Peter Gizzi) are considered a seminal work in the development of postmodern American literature. His early poems are collected in

    Extractions: home current issue previous issues information ... jubilat five 14 LETTERS TO JAMES ALEXANDER Jack Spicer Fort Wayne, Indiana, is the capital of Nitrogen. All streets end there. No buses arrive there except those that carry direct mail or cargoes of Negroes en route on the Underground Railway. There has never been a city made up of so many arms. You can see Troy, New York in the distance. Christmas poems and lovers' holly branches grow there in the winter as well as stuffings of turkeys, memory pie, and little droppings of passing angels. It is not reached by air. Fort Wayne, Indiana, has industries and tournament golf, and blocks and blocks of weeping buildings. It is built on high ground above the slough of utter unwinding. The birds which all look like seagulls or cormorants in its artificial sky finish singing when the day is over. At night they look like elephants. People watch them with telescopes as they hover. In Fort Wayne, Indiana the trees are dying and you can see footprints in the rather wet snow. People take their motor scooters to bed with them.

27. Poet Be Like God : Jack Spicer And The San Francisco Renaissance
    Poet Be Like God jack spicer and the San Francisco Renaissance.  
    http://hallmemoirs.com/gay_lesbian/103.shtml
    
    Extractions: From the time it first emerged as a renegade liberating voice in the early 1950s, beat writing changed the American social literary scene. Poets like Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti altered the sound of U.S. poetry while Jack Kerouac's bebop chantparticularly in his classic On the Road literally changed how Americans spoke. The beats' fame became so great so quickly that their critics accused them of hypocrisy. Not so Jack Spicer; while Ginsberg and Kerouac were busy publishing and promoting their work, Spicerwhose original lyric voice and gay content still resonate todayspent most of his time disdaining the publishing world and making enemies. In Poet Be Like God , journalist Lewis Ellingham and experimental novelist Kevin Killian have produced not only a fully realized portrait of Spicer, but a complexly woven historical and literary tapestry. Spicer emerges here as a brilliant, difficult, and largely unlikable man whose talent for writing matched his inability to function in the world. Ellingham and Killian are equally concerned with explicating the San Francisco renaissance and charting the emergence of North Beach as a gay neighborhood; Poet Be Like God thus rediscovers Jack Spicer for a new generation of readers and presents us with a unique and startling look at gay and literary history.

33. Jacket 7 - James Herndon - Jack Spicer And The Art Of Fran
    jackET SEVEN CONTENTS HOMEPAGE. James Herndon from the memoir EverythingAs Expected jack spicer and the art of Fran Herndon. I looked up jack spicer.  
    http://www.zip.com.au/~jtranter/jacket07/spicer-herndon.html
    
    Extractions: When Fran and I came to San Francisco, I looked up old friends. I looked up Jack Spicer. I was surprised when he came by our place the very next day. We were not precisely old friends then. He had once written me a letter from Minnesota, addressing me as "Dear Boswell", and signing himself "Samuel Johnson, Esq." My name happens to be James Boswell Herndon. It wasn't in Jack to pass up a good coincidence like that. He came by to watch the McCarthy hearings on TV *. He came in, got introduced to Fran, asked right away for the TV to be turned on - feeling right at home, it seemed - and questioned us about tuning and focusing in order to see which of us was an expert at the TV, or if either of us was, wanting to know what chance he had of getting the best out of the old set. We watched the Senate hearings for six hours, not counting a break for lunch, which Fran made. Two hot-dogs each, French mustard, New York Martin cheddar cheese, some tomatoes with spring onions. Jack Spicer ate it all and observed that Fran made it all. That lunch got established, once and for all, as lunch * Continuing a war against the American left that had begun with President Truman's order to search out "disloyal persons" in the U.S. government (Executive Order 9835, 1947), Joseph McCarthy, U.S. Senator from Wisconsin in 1950 initiated the systematic persecution of accused communists beginning with the State Department and coming to encompass all areas of cultural life. It was only in 1954, when McCarthy began hearings to investigate subversive activity in the U.S. military, that his "investigations" were halted and Senator McCarthy himself was censured by the Senate. As Lewis Ellingham and Kevin Killian note, "[t]he occasion described here was probably a television rerun," the televised Army/McCarthy hearings having taken place in 1954. James Herndon, like Spicer himself, had left San Francisco in 1950; he and Fran married in Europe, returned to the city in 1957. Cf. Lewis Ellingham and Kevin Killian

From Kirkus Reviews , April 1, 1998 Beat insider Ellingham and novelist Killian (Shy, 1989, etc.) have here embraced a most resistant, though not unworthy, subject in poet Jack Spicer. Spicer catalyzed the development of the Beat Generation in 1950s San Francisco. Though few literary tales have been told more often (or more tediously) than those pertaining to the Beats, Spicer's own has been at best ill served, and at worst wholly ignored, by the prevailing mythologies of the time. The authors have thus been admirably careful to...
