June 24, 1997 Spicer of life A new biography of the cult beat poet Jack Spicer Poet Be Like God: Jack Spicer and the San Francisco Renaissance. By Lewis Ellingham and Kevin Killian. Wesleyan University Press, 486 pages, $35. By Jim Van Buskirk 'WHY would anyone want to publish a biography of Spicer?" Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked Kevin Killian in a 1990 interview. "He's almost forgotten nowadays, isn't he?" Poet Be like God: Jack Spicer and the San Francisco Renaissance is Lewis Ellingham and Kevin Killian's eloquent response to Ferlinghetti's flippant query. With the death of Allen Ginsberg drawing even more attention to the beat movement, it is appropriate that Spicer, considered one of America's finest poets, finally gets his due, even though it has taken more than 30 years since the influential iconoclast's death in 1965 for this first full-length biography to appear. In the mid-1940s Robert Duncan, Robin Blaser, and Spicer formed an uneasy triumvirate, the core of what became known as the "Berkeley Renaissance." After the phenomenal success of Allen Ginsberg's Howl in 1955, Spicer maintained that the poetic elements of Howl "his open homosexuality, his obscenity, his defiant mix of symbolist, biblical, and surrealist energies" had been the personal property of the Berkeley Renaissance. Howl's success and Spicer's bitter reaction to it characterized the remainder of Spicer's career. When the attention shifted to San Francisco, the appellation "Renaissance," accurate or not, accompanied it.

Jack Spicer and Conrad Pendleton Fall 1957 Note on Jack Spicer: Memoirs of Our Time and Place To this end Spicer brought Yeats, Rilke, and recently Lorca and Artaud to bear. He insisted upon discovering the specific manifestation of what in the poem appeard as symbol or archetype: the swan of Medieval Scenes was "located" in decalcomania on the bathroom wall. From this proceeded major method. In his own work, Spicer disturbs. That he continues to do so is his vitality. The abortive, the solitary, the blasphemous, when they are not facetious, produce upheavals in the real. Life throws up the disturbing demand "All is not well"-sign after sign generated of accusation manifestwhich it is the daring of Spicer at times in poems to mimic. If you do not allow that life vomits; that the cosmos with its swollen and shrunken stars, its irruptions, vomitsyou can refuse to allow only by denying fact. And, in the fullnessthe image of God must contain the grotesque. The Creator accuses as he blesses His creation. That God contains more, that God "contains" is an aesthetic that defines my critical departure from delight in Spicer's work where the uncontaind, the isolate, appears and accuses the Creator. All partial voice screams out of very hell, divorced from the Good, truths that we can afford neither to deny nor to embrace.

No Frames: Index Poetic Dictation (Michael Slosek) In 1965, Jack Spicer (1925-1965) delivered a series of lectures at the Vancouver Poetry Convention where he discussed the nature of automatic writing, and a theory known as poetic dictation. Spicer was heavily involved in the literary community of San Francisco and is also considered one of the most important postmodern poets. In the first Vancouver Lecture, Spicer describes the nature of the poet in the writing process of poetry. The poet, as Spicer describes, is a medium through which the poem is dictated from an outside source. What is most interesting from a hermeneutical stand-point is that Spicer's proposal seems to categorically revoke the conservative hermeneutical model of author's interpretation since it seems that the poet (the author) does not exert intentional control over the poem, nor does the poem originate in the poet. Jack Spicer Plum Island, ca. 1958. Photograph by Kent Bowker. Spicer begins the lecture by reciting a story about William Butler Yeats who Spicer claims was the first poet to take the phenomenon of dictation seriously. (For a qualification of this claim, however, see Plato's The Ion ). Yeats and his wife Georgie, as Spicer tells, were traveling through California when Georgie was over taken by "spooks." When Yeats asked the "spooks" why they had come, they replied that they were there to give metaphors for his poetry. This story, whether historically true or false, gives the initial sense of what Spicer is proposing: a theory of "taking poetry as coming from the outside rather than from the inside." Spicer uses the term "dictated" because he recognizes that there is something outside of the poet which writes the poetry through the medium of the poet.

2000 - 2001 Season Jack Spicer by Mark DuCharm October 17, 2000 Orpheus in the Echo Chamber: Jack Spicer's Poetics of Community" is the title of this talk by Mark DuCharme. While there are many entrances into the work of Jack Spicer (1925-1965), our focus here will be on community as a figure both for and in Spicer's poetics. DuCharme discusses the poet's difficult relationship with the very real scenes of Berkeley, North Beach and the "New American" landscape that emerged after the publication of Donald Allen's landmark anthology. Looking at current scholarship, he considers Spicer as a major U.S. American poet who worked beyond his own isolation and the "silence" of the act of writing, toward a poetics of the "Outside" still relevant to us in the new century. Mark DuCharme is the author of several poetry chapbooks, most recently Near To and Desire Series . His poetry and essays on poetics have appeared widely in literary journals. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and of the Naropa University, where he has also taught. Since 1998 he has co-directed the Left Hand Reading Series. His first collection of poetry, Cosmopolitan Tremble , will be published in Summer, 2001 by Pavement Saw Press.
