344. [Schneemann, Carolee] Eshleman, Clayton.

Bearings. [Two fantastic association copies of this limited edition / Both copies from the library of Carolee Schneemann / Both, beautifully inscribed by Clayton Eshleman to Carolee Schneemann and one copy with an annotation and several interesting textmarkings by Carolee Schneemann].

First Edition. Santa Barbara, Capricorn Press, 1971. 22.5cm x 15.3cm. 22 (6) pages. Original illustrated softcover. Excellent condition of noth editions, with only minor signs of external wear. This is one of Eshleman’s most personal works, which explains why he inscribed it in two consecutive years to Carolee Schneemann. Clayton Esleman writes about the impact Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet” had on him in 1959. Carolee Schneemann has marked several passages which were important to her, among which is: “for in the sense that what is deeply sick in man today is his hate for his body, in that he has loaded the most energetic word he has for love-making with all the hostility he feels against the act of love. Don’t fuck with me, we say. Keep your fucking hands off. Fuck you. And that word, like a jungle interwoven with all kinds of lianas and vines of tensions, desires, and hate, can’t now possibly convey just its erotic energy – “. / Eshleman also leaves a short biographical note (in print) at the end of this Volume in which he critically describes his consequential status quo: “…..Moved to New York City the summer of 1966…..the bottom fell out: I left my family, moved into a hole in the corner of Greenwich Avenue and Bank Street and entered Reichian Therapy…..Presently living in Sherman Oaks, California, with my wife Caryl – and, as of last week, loaned orgone accumulator sitting expectantly in Garage….– 28 January 1971”.
