The first publication of the unknown poetry of a major
twentieth-century sculptor In 1955, long before he became famous
for his abstract metal sculptures, John Chamberlain lived at Black
Mountain College, writing poetry alongside Robert Creeley, Robert
Duncan, and Charles Olson. By the time he moved to New York City in
1956 and began to develop his unique sculptural style, Chamberlain
had completed a series of poems with marginal comments by Olson and
himself, but the work remained unpublished and unknown-until now.
In Black Mountain Chamberlain, Julie Sylvester presents a facsimile
of this fascinating typescript along with an introduction based on
interviews conducted with Chamberlain in the 1980s, conversations
in which he described the strong connections between the poems and
his later work. At first glance, Chamberlain's delicate and quiet
poems appear to be the antithesis of his bold and brash sculpture.
But in the introduction Chamberlain says that in fact the way he
made poems at Black Mountain influenced the way he made sculptures
throughout his career: "It's actually doing things in the same way,
with words or with metal. It's all in the fit." Beautifully
produced, Black Mountain Chamberlain reveals a remarkable and
unexpected new side of an important twentieth-century artist.
