Michael McClure Papers

Résumé du livre

The Michael McClure papers: additions, 1874-2003, present a comprehensive view of McClure's work as a writer, spanning the length of his career. The bulk consists of notebooks and writings, including poems, prose, and plays in manuscript, draft and final form; there is very little correspondence. There are also professional papers, which include posters, flyers and broadsides, many advertising readings by McClure and others, and productions of his plays, including The Beard. There is a small amount of artwork by McClure, family and friends; and materials by and about artists Bruce Conner, and Wallace Berman and George Herms from from William Jahrmarkt and the Batman Gallery, among others. The small amount of personal papers include records and family correspondence. These papers complement The Bancroft Library's other extensive holdings documenting the postwar San Francisco poetry renaissance and its influence on American literature.
