Meat Science Essays
by Michael McClure
City Lights Books, San Francisco, 1963. First Edition (printed in London). Very good trade paperback. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text.
A book of essays from the Beat Generation poet who was known for his experimental writing, which incorporated themes of spirituality, environmentalism, and animal rights. This book's themes are suicide, death, revolt, sexuality & drugs, Artaud, Camus & liberty.
Michael McClure (1932 – 2020) was an American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist. After moving to San Francisco as a young man, he found fame as one of the five poets (including Allen Ginsberg) who read at the famous San Francisco Six Gallery reading in 1955, which was rendered in barely fictionalized terms in Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums. He soon became a key member of the Beat Generation and was immortalized as Pat McLear in Kerouac's Big Sur.
