Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Of the 50,000 Americans who declared themselves conscientious objectors during World War II, nearly 6000 went to prison, many serving multi-year sentences in federal lockups. Some conscientious objectors, notably Robert Lowell, William Everson and William Stafford, went on to become importa…nt figures in the literary life of their country, while others were participants and teachers in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. This long out-of-print book, reprinted from the rare original 1951 edition, collects firsthand accounts by conscientious objectors who were imprisoned for their beliefs. ""Prison Etiquette"" is illustrated with 11 line drawings by the artist Lowell Naeve, who was a participant in the infamous 1943 inmate strike to desegregate the Danbury Prison mess hall, an event that led Danbury to become the first federal prison to abolish segregation. This long out-of-print book, reprinted from the rare original 1951 edition, collects firsthand accounts by conscientious objectors in America who were imprisoned for their beliefs during World War II.

Condizione: Very Good. New York City; Bearsville, NY; Kingston, NY: 1943-1960. Archive of approximately forty pieces of correspondence between Dachine Rainer, Holley Cantine, and Jackson Mac Low. The majority of correspondence occurs between 1946 and 1955. Combination of handwritten and typewritten letters and postcards; several… on Retort stationary. Some letters from Mac Low are duplicated as handwritten drafts and annotated typewritten manuscripts. Much toning and creasing. Very Good. From 1946 to 1960, Rainer and Cantine co-habitated and co-edited Retort, an anarchist quarterly magazine notable for its early publication of writers such as Kenneth Patchen, Saul Bellow, and Robert Duncan. From his self-built home in Bearsville, NY, Cantine set, printed, and bound the publication by hand. Though a writer in her own right, Rainer saw middling success during her lifetime. She is memorialized instead as a peer and correspondent of such authors as W.H. Auden, Rebecca West, and Ezra Pound (who she refers to as "ole Ez" in this archive). The great majority of the letters compiled here are addressed to Jackson Mac Low, a founding member of Fluxus art, an influential participant in Language poetry, and a regular contributor to Retort. Several of these letters solicit music reviews from, though just as many inform him that his work was not included, or had to be significantly shortened, for publication. He complains to Cantine in November 1946 that "the lack of space precluded really serious analyses" and volunteers advice for narrowing the magazine's margins in order to accommodate his work. While much of the communication in this collection is professional, there is an apparent familiarity between the letter-writers. Amidst more mundane exchanges about health and homebuying, one uncovers a dispute between Mac Low and his conjoint correspondents. Rainer and Cantine evidently allowed Mac Low to reside in the Bearsville house for a period. (A few letters detail instructions for maintenance: turning on the water pipes, purchasing coal in nearby Woodstock, and dealing with trespassers - "please use the rifle on the wall in the printshop.") When the pair returned, however, they discovered a mess so extreme that Cantine questioned Mac Low, "what did you use the towels for, anyhow?" Rainer expressed similar outrage at their guest's "violations of our privacy, time, and personal possessions" in a March 1948 letter. The trio's communication slows during this period, though their exchanges eventually resume with regularity and warmth. Alongside interpersonal communication between writers, this collection provides insight into the state of the independent American press during the late 1940s and 1950s - other independent publications referenced throughout correspondence include Cleaners' Press of Galveston, TX and Libertarian Press of Glen Gardner, NJ. Contents include three typewritten letters in envelopes; four handwritten letters in envelopes; eighteen typewritten letters without envelopes; seven handwritten letters without envelopes; three typewritten postcards; one illustrated holiday card; one Notice to Consignee of Goods on Hand; and one sealed, seemingly empty, hand-addressed envelope.
