McClure (1932–2020) is notable not only for his considerable achievements as a poet and prose writer of the Beat Generation, but also for the many collaborative connections he forged over seven decades. From the 1950s to his death, McClure worked with an astonishing range of important figures in the worlds of painting, filmmaking, music, and science. McClure counted among his friends and acquaintances Bruce Conner, Harold Pinter, Amiri Baraka, Richard Brautigan, Wallace Berman, George Herms, Lawrence Jordan, Dennis Hopper, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Sterling Bunnell, Francis Crick, Gary Snyder, Francesco Clemente, and Diane di Prima.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring his early years in San Francisco, McClure attended Kenneth Rexroth’s literary evenings and formed significant lifelong friendships. Among those friends were poet Philip Lamantia and Robert Duncan, who became a mentor to McClure. He also learned much from Charles Olson and adopted several features of Olson’s concept of \"\"Projective Verse\"\" in his own work. McClure’s exchange of letters with experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage lasted for four decades. During his illustrious career, McClure published fourteen books of poetry, eight books of plays, and four collections of essays. \u003ci\u003eConversations with Michael McClure\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the many contributions of this central personality in the evolution of the American counterculture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix San Francisco Poets: Snyder, Whalen, Michael McClure, Meltzer, Ferlinghetti, Antoninus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Kherdian \/ 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGahr, Groooor, Grayohh: For a Meat Poetry—\u003cbr\u003eAn Interview with Michael McClure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoland Husson \/ 1973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael McClure Interview\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Rollison \/ 1976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Interview with Michael McClure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStephen Vincent \/ 1977\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Conversation with Michael McClure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKevin Power \/ 1978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with Michael McClure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInger Thorup Lauridsen and Per Dalgard \/ 1983\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoetry Wars: An Interview with Michael McClure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarry Miles \/ 1986\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Interview with Michael McClure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS.
