Anne Tardos, Jackson Mac Low’s widow: “Many of the works in this exhibition were discovered after his death. One might say, they could only be discovered then. He had kept his drawings and collages safely, but he completely lost track of them, sometimes painfully suspecting the works as having been stolen. I had to go through the enormous accumulation of this artist’s life’s work, and in doing this, I discovered many long lost items, in particular the original, hand drawn Light Poems Chart. In the decade following his death, I edited three large, posthumous volumes of his works: Thing of Beauty: New and Selected Works (University of California Press, 2008); 154 Forties (Counterpath, 2012); and The Complete Light Poems 1–60, with Michael O’Driscoll (Chax Press, 2015).” All three books are available in our bookshop.

“But Jack I've told you over and over, if you continue your present pattern of living with your memere you'll be wound closer and closer in her apron strings till you're an old man...” William Burroughs as a Gideian sophisticate camping yakking at the all American Thomas Wolfean boy, Jack Kerouac thoughtfully listening to “the most intelligent man in America” for a funny second in the living room, 206 East 7th Street Fall 1953 Lower East Side New York, Iris Brodey's lost portrait of Jackson Mac Low with recorder on wall.
