About This Item
No Place[Bolinas, Calif.]: No Publisher[The Author], No date, circa 1968-1988. Title from the first line. A single sheet of thin smooth white cardboard, with manuscript poem in black marker and five red chop marks creating the image of a tree. Near Fine, small rubs and staining to green marker border. RARE. One of only four other known original handwritten versions of this poem, the others located by OCLC at SUNY-Buffalo, Ball State Univ., Univ. of North Carolina, and Simon Fraser Univ. However in those other versions Kyger also used yellow, brown and blue markers in addition to the red and black ones. The poem was published as a broadside in 1979 by Cranium Press, that version bearing no resemblance to the handwritten originals. A poem that arose from Kyger's interest in Zen Buddhism, as evidenced by the SUNY version's inscription reading "Joanne Kyger again in hindrance practice 11.2.88." Joanne Kyger, (1934-2017), was a major American poet of the post-Beat San Francisco Renaissance, which included poets such as Robert Duncan and Jack Spicer. She was married to Gary Snyder for 4 years, after meeting him on a trip to Japan in 1961. She moved to Bolinas, California in 1968, where she became an essential and influential member of a poetry community that included Alice Notley, Ted Berrigan, Gerard Malanga, Anne Waldman, Aram Saroyan, Robert Creeley, Joe Brainard, and Lewis Warsh. That scene lasted until the early 1980s. but Kyger remained in Bollinas for the rest of her lifetime. . SIGNED BY AUTHOR. Single Leaf. Near Fine/No Jacket, As Issued. 11" x 7". Broadside Poem.
