Firs edition. One of only 100 numbered copies. Folio (11 x 15 inches). Introductory sheet inserted has title: Elegy for Jake. A portfolio. Ten broadsides, issued loose in a plain blue box. Three of them are original lithographs by John Rock and each is signed and numbered by him. Colophon leaf at end. At the head of the colophon we read "To the memory of John Breitenbach, killed on Everest, March 23, 1963." The plain blue box is inserted into a same color slipcase with a printed cover label. Slipcase with a couple of stains but solid. Publication itself in excellent condition.An ode to living on the edge of death- "Mallory, Shackleton, Lawrence and Doughty/Interior, the deserts where they worked/Luminous, their downward curving pain/Your dialogue with self resembles theirs/. Not you in white, frozen to your desert/Of monumental cold, immemorial calm."The dedicatee, John Breitenback, was born April 17, 1935 in Aberdeen, WA. In 1963, Breitenbach was a member of the first American expedition to summit Mount Everest, along with two other felloe Dartmouth alums, Barry Corbet '58 and Barry Bishop '53. Tragically, Breitenbach died on Khumbu Glacier at the foot of the mountain when a serac, or massive block of ice, unexpectedly collapsed on top of him. The leader of the team, Norman Dyhrenfurth, called a meeting of the rest of the members to discuss the loss of Breitenbach, let everyone speak in response to the tragedy, and see if people wanted to continue. The team decided to continue, resulting in a successful summiting by numerous members of the party. In addition, Willi Unsoeld and Tom Hornbein completed the first traverse of Everest by ascending via the West Ridge instead of the South Col route (which had been used by the 1953 British expedition).Speaking of this poem Haslip stated - "I think it's liriked with my interest in another theme in a long poem I wrote about the death of my friend, Johnn Breitenback, on Mt. Everest. In that poem, "Elegy for Jake," I explore the relationship between the dangerous, journeys men like Jake undertake and the kind of psychic chances 'taken by the artist."John Rock was a Oregon-based artist and master printer. Rock was born in Tillamook, Western Oregon and served in the U.S. Army in World War II (1939-45). He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oregon State College (now Oregon State University) in Corvallis in 1951. He earned a Master of Arts degree from California College of the Arts in Oakland in 1957. He served as a Professor of Art at Oregon State University for over twenty five years, retiring in 1985.
Wraps. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Uniformly printed, single sheets 10-1/2 x 17', folded three times making four panels per side, or, eight panels altogether. Each 'pamphlet' reproducing a work of art on the 'cover'; the rest of the panels on this side are uniformly designed and offer a description of the art with a biography of the artists; a bibliography for the poet; and a biography of the poet, with the colophon at the bottom. The recto contains poetry only, from five to eight poems depending on the poet. Each pamphlet with a little bit of age-toning, but altogether a better than Very Good set; lacking the publishers manila envelope. Rare thus. // Published by the Portland Art Museum for the Northwest Poetry Meetings held at the Museum July 9, 10, 11, and 12 in connection with the invitational exhibition, 'Paintings and Sculptures of the Pacific Northwest', which ran June 13 through August 9, 1959. Really quite a remarkable collection of Northwest poets; this group of 8 represents a full collection of those published, and includes the first separate publication of Richard Hugo, Carolyn Kizer, Carol Hall, John Haislip, and William Stafford (poetry). Artists include: Sally Haley; Margaret Tomkins; James McGarrell; Milton Wilson; Tony Mellara; Louis Bunce; Hilda Morris; and William Ivey.
First printing. 10.5 x 4.25 inches (folded). Eight pamphlets, each printed on both sides of a large sheet, folded to make eight pages. Printed by Litho Art in Portland, in an unspecified edition, on the occasion of the Northwest Poetry Meetings held at the Portland Art Museum July 9-12, 1959, in connection with the Museum's Centennial invitational exhibition, "Paintings and Sculptures of the Pacific Northwest." Housed in a plain envelope, lettered by hand with the series title, the names of the poets, and the venue (as issued). Pamphlets in very fine condition (one, the Haislip, with a tiny corner crease), with only the barest hint of age-toning, in a near fine example of the envelope (with mild rumpling and three tiny closed tears). The Northwest Poetry Meetings were called together by the Portland Art Museum's curator of education, Rachel Smith Griffin. She and her assistant, Pauline Illo (later Pauline Eyerly), arranged for the printing of a pamphlet of poems by each of the invited poets.For four of the poets (all in their thirties or early forties at the time), the pamphlet represents their first separate publication - true for Richard Hugo and Carolyn Kizer, for example. In William Stafford's case, it is his first separate publication of poetry, and is significantly rarer than his first book (Down in My Heart, 1947).Each collection of poems is paired with a painting or sculpture on display in the associated exhibition, including works by Margaret Tomkins, William Ivey, Sally Haley, Hilda Morris, Louis Bunce, Tony Mellara, Milton Wilson, and James McGarrell. (Carolyn Kizer was paired with Hilda Morris, and she went on to write about Morris's work in an essay for an exhibition catalogue nearly fifteen years later.)Historically important, rarely found together, and almost never found in such lovely condition.
