The first full critical study of this San Francisco Renaissance poetIn the years since his death from alcohol poisoning, Jack Spicer (19251965) has gradually come to be recognized as one of most intriguing of the socalled 'New American Poetry' poets. This study places Spicers work in the context of the San Francisco Renaissance and contemporary movements with which he was in dialogue such as the Beats, the Black Mountain poets, and the 'New York School'. It also explores his relationship to the major modernists from whom his innovative poetics derived. Informed by archival material only recently made available, the book examines Spicer's postPoundian 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.
