Description:
(No date). A unique collaborative work of art by Conner & McClure, signed by the poet & artist, formerly in the collection of Donald Allen. In 1959, Bruce Conner (b. 1933) & Michael McClure proposed that "artists and poets repudiate the term beat and call themselves 'rat bastards' instead, and they announced the formation of the Rat Bastard Protective Society, the name intended as a playful allusion to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Membership of the Rat Bastards included Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, Defeo's husband Wally Hedrick, and Wallace Berman from Los Angeles. Conner later came to feel imprisoned by the art he produced.... (He) rebelled against the fetishized art commodity by bringing his dealer in New York, ... boxes of found objects simply thrown together without any particular order.... In 1965 Conner 'dropped out' of the art world. For several years he developed the light show concept at the Avalon Ballroom.... He then worked with Dennis Hopper developing motion pictures. He influenced the…

Description:
(N. Y.): Thought, 1960. First separate edition, an offprint, of this important thirty-five page essay on Pasternak's being awarded, and rejecting, the Nobel Prize in 1958. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author at the top of the front wrapper "To Mark (Van Doren) blessings & love for the New Year, Tom." The essay was subsequently published in Disputed Questions (1960). In 1973, the King Library Press at the University of Kentucky published Boris Pasternak / Thomas Merton. Six Letters, documenting the rich but all-too brief correspondence between Merton and Pasternak. In a letter to John Harris, Pasternak had written of Merton: "his precious thoughts and dear bottomless letters enrich me and make me happy. At a better time I shall thank and write him. Now I am not in a position to do so. Say to him his high feelings and prayers have saved my life." For his part, Merton had written that "he had a closer contact with Pasternak on the other side of the world than with people a few miles away, and…
