After his parents divorced, he went to live with his grandfather in Seattle, who influenced McClure’s early interests in the natural world. McClure attended several universities in Kansas and Arizona before completing his Bachelor degree at the San Francisco State College in 1955. McClure met his first wife, Joanna Kinnison, and married her in 1954. They later had one daughter, Katherine Jane (b. 1956), but divorced in 1986. While at San Francisco State College, he took a course with poet Robert Duncan, and was influenced by Charles Olson, William Blake and Walt Whitman’s poetries as well as Jackson Pollock’s paintings. McClure received instant fame when he participated in the infamous Six Gallery poetry reading in San Francisco with Allen Ginsberg, Philip Whalen, Gary Snyder and Philip Lamantia. McClure was thus associated with the Beat movement, and began publishing in what became a prolific writing career. In 1956, with poet and publisher Jonathan Williams and James Harmon, McClure published the work of both Black Mountain school poets and San Francisco Beat poets in Ark II/Moby I review; it was published in 1957. Jonathan Williams then published McClure’s first book of poetry, Passage (Jargon Book Series, 1956). McClure subsequently published many collections of poetry, including For Artaud (Totem Press, 1959), Hymns to St. Geryon and Other Poems (Auerhahn Press, 1959), Dark Brown (Auerhahn Press, 1961), The New Book/ A Book of Torture (Grove Press, 1961), Meat Science Essays (City Lights Books, 1963), Love Lion Lioness (Privately printed, 1963), Ghost Tantras (Privately printed, 1964), 13 Mad Sonnets (Privately printed, 1965), The Beard (Several publishers between 1965-7), The Sermons of Jean Harlow and the Curses of Billy the Kid (Four Seasons press, 1968), The Mammals (Cranium Press, 1972), Jaguar Skies (New Directions, 1975), Scratching the Beat Surface (North Point Press, 1982), Selected Poems (New Directions, 1986), and Rebel Lions (New Directions, 1991). McClure also wrote many plays, including !The Feast! (San Francisco, Batman Gallery, 22 December 1960), The Blossom; or Billy the Kid (New York, American Theatre for Poets, 1964), the controversial play The Beard (San Francisco, Encore Theatre, Encore Theare, December 18, 1965), Gorf (San Francisco, Magic Theare,1976) and Josephine the Mouse Singer (New York, WPA Theatre, November 20, 1978), recipient of two Off-Broadway Theatre Awards. In 1963, McClure became a professor at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California, where he taught for more than 40 years, eventually becoming a professor emeritus. McClure was awarded numerous honours, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1967 and 1974, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1974, a Pushcart Prize for Poetry in 1991 and a Lifetime Achievement Poetry Award from the National Poetry Society in 1993. More recently, McClure published Simple Eyes (New Directions, 1992), Love Lion Video (with Ray Manzarek, Mystic Fire Video, 1993), The Mad Club (Blue Moon Books, 1995), Rain Mirror (New Directions, 1999),  There’s a Word! audio recording with Ray Manzarek (Rare Angel Music 2001), and Plum Stones: Cartoons of No Heaven (O Books, 2002). In 1997, McClure married a sculptor, Amy Evans.

Star is a four letter word, s-t-a-r. Now, in case I read, I--is this on right? In case I read something here tonight with a four letter word in it, which I'm liable to cause I might start off be reading part of The Beard, um, [unintelligible] if anyone would be offended, it would be a good thing if they got their money back, right now. It's their right to do so.\n\nAudience\n00:01:07\nApplause.\n\nMichael McClure\n00:01:22\nThe Beard is a poem of mine in the form of a play that's just been arrested fifteen nights in a row by Los Angeles [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q65] police and a state law has been passed against it being performed in the state colleges in California [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q99]. These are the trials and tribulations. And right now we're waiting for a panel of three federal judges to come and see it and decide if it has redeeming special significance. [Audience laughter]. And if they don't think it is, we'll take it to the Supreme Court [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11201] and see what they think. And, the play has two characters in it, Billy the Kid [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q44200] and Jean Harlow [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105719]. And they're together in a blue velvet eternity, they both are wearing little beards made out of torn white tissue paper. They're--they only thing on the set with them is a table and two chairs covered with furs and Harlow is wearing a blue gown and she has a purse with her and a mirror and the Kid is dressed in a costume appropriate to his costume--I mean appropriate to his career. And when the curtain opens, there's an orange light shining on him which goes up after the first, about the first thirty seconds. And being that this is a poem in the form of a play, I can only read it, I can't read it properly, I can't be two people, I can't be Billy the Kid and Jean Harlow I can only be the author so I'll have to read it that way where it's actually meant to be a poem and acted by me on a stage, on a shelf with lights. We have a shelf with lights, but that's the best I can do.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:03:41\nReads selection from The Beard.\n\nAudience\n00:10:29\nApplause.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:11:02\nUm, I'm going to read two more tonight. I want to read for a while and then have an intermission and then I'd like to come back on and play some musical pieces that my music guru George Montana has been working on with me and we've been writing some songs together, but I'd like to read poems for maybe half an hour or so first. I want to read some poems called \"Mad Sonnets\" and I imagine a lot of you know what sons are, what known as sons are, fourteen lines with a legitimate rhyme scheme, and these are not quite exactly like that...Does this microphone sound right? If I stand right here is that okay so that I don't have to lean into it?\n \nMichael McClure\n00:12:25\nReads \"Mad Sonnet\" [from Star].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:14:08\nAnother \"Mad Sonnet\", kind of ecological.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:14:23\nReads [\"Mad Sonnet 3\" from Star].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:16:03\nHere's a--I live in San Francisco [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q62], but here's a \"Mad Sonnet\" that I started in New York [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60], I went to Wall Street [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11690] on a Saturday morning, I guess you can imagine what it's like during the weekdays, it's a narrow street, buildings stretching up like cliffs on each side of them and on Saturday morning it's cold and empty and you can feel the crush and vibrations from the previous part of the week.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:16:32\nReads [“Mad Sonnet 13” from Star, published later as “Cold Saturday Mad Sonnet” in Selected Poems].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:17:58\nI never thought of those signs--they told me I can't smoke up here. It's my life. I'll do what I want, [unintelligible]. [Audience laughter]. The work--I think-are we all, I think I'm waiting for, this technology with which we live in, which is wonderful enough in it's own way, is also costly and [unintelligible], eating up the planet, and I think I'm waiting for an all-chemical science, by means in which we can manifest ourselves through the universe and I guess we'll have to tinker toys like rocket ships and space ships to begin it, but I don't think that's how we'll really do it. And it's become kind of tradition to write songs to science, so I guess I had to do one too.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:19:20\nReads [“Mad Sonnet 5” from Star].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:20:48\nI've got a book of poems in a language I call Beast Language, they're about half in English and half in this invented language. The book is called Ghost Tantras, ghost like the German word \"gist\", g-i-s-t, which means spirit, and I just said \"ghost\". Why can't ghost be a spirit, why can't we use that in English? And tantra, t-a-n-t-r-a, which is a Hindu form of poetry, it's poetry written in an invented language for magical purposes to bring about changes in the universe. I felt these poems, I felt these poems coming on, and I felt like I had a ball of silence within myself, within my body and I heard these sounds within that ball of silence, and I wrote them down phonetically, so kind of like Marvel comics [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q173496], you know where it says \"keee\" or \"rash\", k-e-e-e, or r-a-s-h. And I see later that things like this have been done in gnostic Bizantine chants too, which also, is like Marvel comics. \"Ka-pow\". And some of them were written in San Francisco, some of them were written in airplanes, on the way to Mexico [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q96]. I was going to Mexico to bring back cultures of [unintelligible] Mexicana, the sacred [salsavie (?)] mushroom which were grown by scientists in Brooklyn [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18419]. And, then upon my return I finished from there. I finished these \"Mad Sonnets\", there are 99 of them and I don't think you've probably heard anything like them before, and I guess all you can do is just relax. I like to start with one that starts with English because it's not so strange, they're about a third English or half English maybe.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:23:15\nBegins to perform unnamed sound poem.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:23:19\nNo, that's not it...Where'd George go? George? [Audience laughter].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:24:00\nPerforms “Ghost Tantra #51” [published later in Ghost Tantras].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:25:42\nHere's another one that starts in English, it starts in Spanish. Just went to Spanish, [unintelligible] George is.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:25:57\nPerforms “Ghost Tantra #54” [published later in Ghost Tantras].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:27:45\nI just had a lot of microphone trouble in Buffalo [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q40435] too. I don't know what. It's alright?\n \nMichael McClure\n00:27:55\nPerforms “Ghost Tantra #69” [published later in Ghost Tantras].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:29:45\nHere's one, this was written the day after Marilyn Monroe [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4616] died, August 6, 1962.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:30:11\nReads \"Ghost Tantra #39\" [published later in Ghost Tantras].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:31:37\nYou've got a tourist card in the back of the room [(?)] Is everybody relaxed? Cause I'm not. Eddie in [unintelligible] was dismissed recently and I guess this poem had something to do with it. And, the poem is the ending of, it's the sexual ending of a very long poem called \"Dark Brown\" I see nothing wrong in taking any sexual part of the poem from any other part of the poem, and the sexual writing today will be viewed in fifty years or a hundred years much the way we view nature poetry today in the 19th century, because some [unintelligible] classes we kept bringing up the fact that for our [unintelligible] today if you were to look at the atmosphere or the air we breathe, the primary part of our environment is either other human bodies or concrete and we choose human bodies rather than the concrete which seems to be a pretty good choice. I think that given the changes that are going on today, I believe we won't be able to say anything. If we can say anything now. If we can say anything anytime but I mean, I think this will be looked upon as [unintelligible] Nature poetry, Shelley [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q93343] and Keats [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82083]were pulling cockney school in their day, which of course was all there is for Shelley since he was a [unintelligible] and probably some of Keats although it was worse since he was a cockney. [Audience laughter]. They were insulted for their new nature poetries, and this too. I'd like to read some like, preliminary stanzas of that poem, and then read part of the longer section which seems to have to do with the [unintelligible]. In Eddie's defense I'll say that the London Times [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50008] literary supplement found that this is [unintelligible]. The poem is written in independent stanzas, I'd like to think of the stanzas as being independent in the way an organism is, and the totality of the poem in the totality in a way an--the way a primitive--and this is a primitive organism is comprised of [unintelligible] individuals to make up its [unintelligible] of being. The poem is called \"Dark Brown\" and I've just opened it to the page I wanted to. The stanza I wanted to.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:35:21\nReads \"Dark Brown\" from Dark Brown.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:37:48\nReads [\"The black black black damned and undreamy odem the undersoul\" from Dark Brown].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:40:00\nAnother poem. Okay, have I justified enough? Now's your chance to go home. I'm going to read the tough part.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:40:23\nReads [“Fuck Ode” from Dark Brown].\n \nAudience\n00:50:00\nApplause.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:50:15\nI'll take a break. George and I are going to play, George Montana and I, and I won't guarantee anything about it as my fingers are feeling very clumsy tonight. I'll be playing an instrument but I know George will play for us, so if you hear any faults in the playing, it's me not George. I want to take like, at least, I want to take a ten minute break and anybody who'd like to stay is welcome to stay, and if you'd like to go, go, and if you want to leave during the music if you don't like the music for god's sake go. Thank you. \n \nUnknown\n00:51:09\n[Cut or edit made in tape. Unknown amount of time elapsed].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:51:12\nI'm kind of nervous, us going through it again.\n \nGeorge Montana\n00:51:19\n[IUnintelligible].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:51:23\nSure, let's see if it picks up.\n \nGeorge Montana\n00:51:24\nI think it's picking up\n \nMichael McClure\n00:51:25\nYeah?\n \nGeorge Montana\n00:51:26\nYeah.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:51:27\nCan you hear us whispering?\n \nAudience\n00:51:28\nYes.\n \nUnknown\n00:51:30\nAmbient Sound [music].\n \nMichael McClure\n00:51:41\nLet's see what it sounds like.\n \nMichael McClure\n00:51:43\nIs it picking up?

Star is a four letter word, s-t-a-r. Now, in case I read, I--is this on right? In case I read something here tonight with a four letter word in it, which I'm liable to cause I might start off be reading part of The Beard, um, [unintelligible] if anyone would be offended, it would be a good thing if they got their money back, right now. It's their right to do so.\\n\\nAudience\\n00:01:07\\nApplause.\\n\\nMichael McClure\\n00:01:22\\nThe Beard is a poem of mine in the form of a play that's just been arrested fifteen nights in a row by Los Angeles [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q65] police and a state law has been passed against it being performed in the state colleges in California [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q99]. These are the trials and tribulations. And right now we're waiting for a panel of three federal judges to come and see it and decide if it has redeeming special significance. [Audience laughter]. And if they don't think it is, we'll take it to the Supreme Court [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11201] and see what they think. And, the play has two characters in it, Billy the Kid [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q44200] and Jean Harlow [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105719]. And they're together in a blue velvet eternity, they both are wearing little beards made out of torn white tissue paper. They're--they only thing on the set with them is a table and two chairs covered with furs and Harlow is wearing a blue gown and she has a purse with her and a mirror and the Kid is dressed in a costume appropriate to his costume--I mean appropriate to his career. And when the curtain opens, there's an orange light shining on him which goes up after the first, about the first thirty seconds. And being that this is a poem in the form of a play, I can only read it, I can't read it properly, I can't be two people, I can't be Billy the Kid and Jean Harlow I can only be the author so I'll have to read it that way where it's actually meant to be a poem and acted by me on a stage, on a shelf with lights. We have a shelf with lights, but that's the best I can do.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:03:41\\nReads selection from The Beard.\\n\\nAudience\\n00:10:29\\nApplause.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:11:02\\nUm, I'm going to read two more tonight. I want to read for a while and then have an intermission and then I'd like to come back on and play some musical pieces that my music guru George Montana has been working on with me and we've been writing some songs together, but I'd like to read poems for maybe half an hour or so first. I want to read some poems called \\\"Mad Sonnets\\\" and I imagine a lot of you know what sons are, what known as sons are, fourteen lines with a legitimate rhyme scheme, and these are not quite exactly like that...Does this microphone sound right? If I stand right here is that okay so that I don't have to lean into it?\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:12:25\\nReads \\\"Mad Sonnet\\\" [from Star].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:14:08\\nAnother \\\"Mad Sonnet\\\", kind of ecological.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:14:23\\nReads [\\\"Mad Sonnet 3\\\" from Star].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:16:03\\nHere's a--I live in San Francisco [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q62], but here's a \\\"Mad Sonnet\\\" that I started in New York [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60], I went to Wall Street [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11690] on a Saturday morning, I guess you can imagine what it's like during the weekdays, it's a narrow street, buildings stretching up like cliffs on each side of them and on Saturday morning it's cold and empty and you can feel the crush and vibrations from the previous part of the week.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:16:32\\nReads [“Mad Sonnet 13” from Star, published later as “Cold Saturday Mad Sonnet” in Selected Poems].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:17:58\\nI never thought of those signs--they told me I can't smoke up here. It's my life. I'll do what I want, [unintelligible]. [Audience laughter]. The work--I think-are we all, I think I'm waiting for, this technology with which we live in, which is wonderful enough in it's own way, is also costly and [unintelligible], eating up the planet, and I think I'm waiting for an all-chemical science, by means in which we can manifest ourselves through the universe and I guess we'll have to tinker toys like rocket ships and space ships to begin it, but I don't think that's how we'll really do it. And it's become kind of tradition to write songs to science, so I guess I had to do one too.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:19:20\\nReads [“Mad Sonnet 5” from Star].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:20:48\\nI've got a book of poems in a language I call Beast Language, they're about half in English and half in this invented language. The book is called Ghost Tantras, ghost like the German word \\\"gist\\\", g-i-s-t, which means spirit, and I just said \\\"ghost\\\". Why can't ghost be a spirit, why can't we use that in English? And tantra, t-a-n-t-r-a, which is a Hindu form of poetry, it's poetry written in an invented language for magical purposes to bring about changes in the universe. I felt these poems, I felt these poems coming on, and I felt like I had a ball of silence within myself, within my body and I heard these sounds within that ball of silence, and I wrote them down phonetically, so kind of like Marvel comics [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q173496], you know where it says \\\"keee\\\" or \\\"rash\\\", k-e-e-e, or r-a-s-h. And I see later that things like this have been done in gnostic Bizantine chants too, which also, is like Marvel comics. \\\"Ka-pow\\\". And some of them were written in San Francisco, some of them were written in airplanes, on the way to Mexico [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q96]. I was going to Mexico to bring back cultures of [unintelligible] Mexicana, the sacred [salsavie (?)] mushroom which were grown by scientists in Brooklyn [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18419]. And, then upon my return I finished from there. I finished these \\\"Mad Sonnets\\\", there are 99 of them and I don't think you've probably heard anything like them before, and I guess all you can do is just relax. I like to start with one that starts with English because it's not so strange, they're about a third English or half English maybe.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:23:15\\nBegins to perform unnamed sound poem.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:23:19\\nNo, that's not it...Where'd George go? George? [Audience laughter].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:24:00\\nPerforms “Ghost Tantra #51” [published later in Ghost Tantras].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:25:42\\nHere's another one that starts in English, it starts in Spanish. Just went to Spanish, [unintelligible] George is.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:25:57\\nPerforms “Ghost Tantra #54” [published later in Ghost Tantras].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:27:45\\nI just had a lot of microphone trouble in Buffalo [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q40435] too. I don't know what. It's alright?\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:27:55\\nPerforms “Ghost Tantra #69” [published later in Ghost Tantras].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:29:45\\nHere's one, this was written the day after Marilyn Monroe [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4616] died, August 6, 1962.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:30:11\\nReads \\\"Ghost Tantra #39\\\" [published later in Ghost Tantras].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:31:37\\nYou've got a tourist card in the back of the room [(?)] Is everybody relaxed? Cause I'm not. Eddie in [unintelligible] was dismissed recently and I guess this poem had something to do with it. And, the poem is the ending of, it's the sexual ending of a very long poem called \\\"Dark Brown\\\" I see nothing wrong in taking any sexual part of the poem from any other part of the poem, and the sexual writing today will be viewed in fifty years or a hundred years much the way we view nature poetry today in the 19th century, because some [unintelligible] classes we kept bringing up the fact that for our [unintelligible] today if you were to look at the atmosphere or the air we breathe, the primary part of our environment is either other human bodies or concrete and we choose human bodies rather than the concrete which seems to be a pretty good choice. I think that given the changes that are going on today, I believe we won't be able to say anything. If we can say anything now. If we can say anything anytime but I mean, I think this will be looked upon as [unintelligible] Nature poetry, Shelley [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q93343] and Keats [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82083]were pulling cockney school in their day, which of course was all there is for Shelley since he was a [unintelligible] and probably some of Keats although it was worse since he was a cockney. [Audience laughter]. They were insulted for their new nature poetries, and this too. I'd like to read some like, preliminary stanzas of that poem, and then read part of the longer section which seems to have to do with the [unintelligible]. In Eddie's defense I'll say that the London Times [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50008] literary supplement found that this is [unintelligible]. The poem is written in independent stanzas, I'd like to think of the stanzas as being independent in the way an organism is, and the totality of the poem in the totality in a way an--the way a primitive--and this is a primitive organism is comprised of [unintelligible] individuals to make up its [unintelligible] of being. The poem is called \\\"Dark Brown\\\" and I've just opened it to the page I wanted to. The stanza I wanted to.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:35:21\\nReads \\\"Dark Brown\\\" from Dark Brown.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:37:48\\nReads [\\\"The black black black damned and undreamy odem the undersoul\\\" from Dark Brown].\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:40:00\\nAnother poem. Okay, have I justified enough? Now's your chance to go home. I'm going to read the tough part.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:40:23\\nReads [“Fuck Ode” from Dark Brown].\\n \\nAudience\\n00:50:00\\nApplause.\\n \\nMichael McClure\\n00:50:15\\nI'll take a break. George and I are going to play, George Montana and I, and I won't guarantee anything about it as my fingers are feeling very clumsy tonight. I'll be playing an instrument but I know George will play for us, so if you hear any faults in the playing, it's me not George. I want to take like, at least, I want to take a ten minute break and anybody who'd like to stay is welcome to stay, and if you'd like to go, go, and if you want to leave during the music if you don't like the music for god's sake go. Thank you. \\n \\nUnknown\\n00:51:09\\n[Cut or edit made in tape.
