This is the first full-length critical monograph on Jack Spicer's
work. In the years since his death from alcohol poisoning, San
Francisco Renaissance poet Jack Spicer (1925-1965) has gradually
come to be recognized as one of most intriguing, demanding, and
rewarding of the so-called 'New American Poetry' poets who were
first published in Donald Allen's historic anthology of that name.
Informed by much archival material only recently made available,
The Poetry of Jack Spicer, examines Spicer's post-Poundian
translation projects; his crucial theories of the 'serial poem' and
inspiration as 'dictation'; his contrarian take on queer poetics;
his insistently uncanny regionalism; and his elaboration of an
epistolary poetics of interpellation and address.
