Jack Spicer était un poète américain associé à la Renaissance de San Francisco. Son œuvre se caractérise par une exploration profonde du langage, de la réalité et de l'expérience humaine, recherchant souvent de nouvelles formes et possibilités poétiques. La voix unique et l'approche innovante de Spicer au vers continuent de résonner, laissant une marque significative dans la littérature américaine.
"Like all of Spicer's best work, After Lorca is "an argument between the dead and the living." He was haunted by Jean Cocteau's image of Orpheus as a poet taking dictation from the beyond through radio broadcasts only he could hear-he liked to say his own messages might be coming from Martians. But as he wrote in his 1965 book Language, "The trouble with comparing a poet with a radio is that radios/ don't develop scar tissue.""-- Provided by publisher

Jack Spicer (1925-1965) ist die mysteriöse Größe der amerikanischen Poesie. "Jack Spicer", schreibt Stefan Ripplinger im Nachwort zu seinem Buch mit Spicers serial poems, die er hier im Original und seiner Übersetzung präsentiert, "schrieb keine Gedichte, er hielt Séancen ab. Verse werden Verkündigungen, Repräsentationen Vergegenwärtigungen von Abwesendem, Herabrufen von Fremdem, Vergänglichem. Bürgerliche Dichtung dagegen spricht gewöhnlich aus der Intimität eines unergründlichen Ich. Ein solches Ich zu besitzen, bestritt Spicer vehement, kein Autor sei er, keine Autorität, sondern bloß ein Behälter, ein Auffänger, ein Medium, Diener höherer, abscheulicher Mächte. Geboren werde einer in seinen Gebeten, in seinen Anrufungen, in der Sprache, aber immer nur als Phantom. Seine Gedichte seien ihm von Gespenstern oder - damit es nicht nach Spökenkiekerei klingt - Marsmännchen 'diktiert' worden. Er glaube an ein 'Jenseits', an ein Jenseits seiner selbst. Seine Verse sind Irrläufer aus den Steppen von Gedächtnis, Gesellschaft und Sprache."
