In 1934, Wieners earned a B.A. in English from Boston College, and subsequently worked at Harvard University’s Lamont Library. A 1955 poetry reading by Charles Olson inspired Wieners to attend Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met and was mentored by Charles Olson and Robert Duncan. After completing studies in 1956, John Wieners moved back to Boston and started Measure, a (short-lived) literary magazine, as well as becoming involved in the Poet’s Theater in Cambridge. At the age of 24, (in 1958) Wieners moved to San Francisco and met Beat Poets Jack Kerouac, Jack Spicer and Allen Ginsberg, and published his first book of poems, The Hotel Wentley Poems (Dave Haselwood Publishing, 1965). John Wieners’ San Francisco journal, The Journal of John Wieners Is To Be Called 707 Scott Street for Billie Holiday, 1959, was published in 1966 by Sun & Moon Press. Wieners wrote plays that were never published during this time, until 1964 when he published Ace of Pentacles (published by James F. Carr & Robert A. Wilson). Charles Olson asked Wieners to be a graduate student and a teaching assistant at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1965, and Wieners eventually became the university’s chair of poetics, when he left by 1967. John Wieners suffered from mental illness, and was institutionalized for the second time in 1969, where he wrote Asylum Poems (For My Father) (Press of the Black Flag Raised). In 1970, he published Nerves (Cape Goliard Press), an internationally published book of poetry, and between 1967 to 1972, he published six smaller books of poetry. Behind the State Capitol; or, Cincinnati Pike (Good Gay Poets Press) was published in 1975 and thus marked the last of his published poems. John Wieners’ poetry, while highly appraised by Beat Poets, Black Mountain Poets and his peers, did not achieve wide public acclaim or readership. In 1985, however, Selected Poems, 1958-1984 (Black Sparrow Press) was compiled with the help of Robert Creeley and Allen Ginsberg. In the 70’s, John Wieners lived and became involved with anti-war movements and became an activist for gay rights, living at 44 Joy Street in Boston. Becoming more and more reclusive after the mid 70’s, John Wieners died of an apparent stroke on March 1, 2002. Michael Carr edited a posthumous collection of Wiener’s 1971 journals which was published in 2007.\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\",\"Performer\"]}]"],"contributors_names":["Layton, Irving"],"contributors_names_search":["Layton, Irving"],"contributors":["[{\"url\":\"https://viaf.org/viaf/66482092/#Layton,_Irving,_1912-2006.\",\"name\":\"Layton, Irving\",\"dates\":\"1912-2006\",\"notes\":\"Irving Layton was on the Poetry Series organizing committee the year that John Wieners read at Sir George Williams University.\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[]}]"],"Performance_Date":[1966],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"Single Track\",\"image\":\"../Uploads/11552/I0006_11_0119_tape.jpg\",\"other\":\"The reel is shorter than most in the Poetry Series, with no additional real documenting this event.

In 1934, Wieners earned a B.A. in English from Boston College, and subsequently worked at Harvard University’s Lamont Library. A 1955 poetry reading by Charles Olson inspired Wieners to attend Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he met and was mentored by Charles Olson and Robert Duncan. After completing studies in 1956, John Wieners moved back to Boston and started Measure, a (short-lived) literary magazine, as well as becoming involved in the Poet’s Theater in Cambridge. At the age of 24, (in 1958) Wieners moved to San Francisco and met Beat Poets Jack Kerouac, Jack Spicer and Allen Ginsberg, and published his first book of poems, The Hotel Wentley Poems (Dave Haselwood Publishing, 1965). John Wieners’ San Francisco journal, The Journal of John Wieners Is To Be Called 707 Scott Street for Billie Holiday, 1959, was published in 1966 by Sun & Moon Press. Wieners wrote plays that were never published during this time, until 1964 when he published Ace of Pentacles (published by James F. Carr & Robert A. Wilson). Charles Olson asked Wieners to be a graduate student and a teaching assistant at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1965, and Wieners eventually became the university’s chair of poetics, when he left by 1967. John Wieners suffered from mental illness, and was institutionalized for the second time in 1969, where he wrote Asylum Poems (For My Father) (Press of the Black Flag Raised). In 1970, he published Nerves (Cape Goliard Press), an internationally published book of poetry, and between 1967 to 1972, he published six smaller books of poetry. Behind the State Capitol; or, Cincinnati Pike (Good Gay Poets Press) was published in 1975 and thus marked the last of his published poems. John Wieners’ poetry, while highly appraised by Beat Poets, Black Mountain Poets and his peers, did not achieve wide public acclaim or readership. In 1985, however, Selected Poems, 1958-1984 (Black Sparrow Press) was compiled with the help of Robert Creeley and Allen Ginsberg. In the 70’s, John Wieners lived and became involved with anti-war movements and became an activist for gay rights, living at 44 Joy Street in Boston. Becoming more and more reclusive after the mid 70’s, John Wieners died of an apparent stroke on March 1, 2002. Michael Carr edited a posthumous collection of Wiener’s 1971 journals which was published in 2007.\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Author\",\"Performer\"]}]"],"contributors":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[]}]"],"Performance_Date":[1966],"material_description":["[{\"side\":\"\",\"image\":\"\",\"other\":\"\",\"extent\":\"1/4 inch\",\"AV_types\":\"Audio\",\"tape_brand\":\"Scotch\",\"generations\":\"\",\"Conservation\":\"\",\"equalization\":\"\",\"playback_mode\":\"Mono\",\"playing_speed\":\"7 1/2 ips\",\"sound_quality\":\"Good\",\"recording_type\":\"Analogue\",\"storage_capacity\":\"\",\"physical_condition\":\"\",\"track_configuration\":\"Half-track\",\"material_designation\":\"Reel to Reel\",\"physical_composition\":\"Magnetic Tape\",\"accompanying_material\":\"\",\"other_physical_description\":\"\"}]"],"material_designations":["Reel to Reel"],"physical_compositions":["Magnetic Tape"],"recording_type":["Analogue"],"AV_type":["Audio"],"playback_mode":["Mono"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"1966 10 08\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"Previous researcher\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22080570\",\"venue\":\"Hall Building Art Gallery\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"1455, Boul de Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada\",\"latitude\":\"45.4972758\",\"longitude\":\"-73.57893043\"}]"],"Address":["1455, Boul de Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada"],"Venue":["Hall Building Art Gallery"],"City":["Montreal, Quebec"],"content_notes":["John Wieners reads from Ace of Pentacles (Carr & Wilson, 1964) as well as works published in 1985 in Selected Poems, 1958-1984 (Black Sparrow Press)."],"contents":["john_wieners_i006-11-119.mp3\n\nJohn Wieners\n00:00:00\nReads “Invocation to Summer” [recording begins abruptly].\n \nJohn Wieners\n00:01:09\n\"Invitation Au Voyage: II\".

I'll read a poem for Sylvia Plath [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133054] who was an American poet who married an English man, Ted Hughes [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q272194] and had mental troubles and wrote a novel about it called The Bell Jar [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1213085] under a pseudonym Victoria Lucas, so not to embarrass her mother, and then things became too much for her and I think in 1963, she did away with herself in London [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q84], and it was a great loss, some people feel that and some do not, they feel that at least--Lowell has written an introduction to her poems posthumously printed called Ariel [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q224733] and her first book was The Colossus [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q29889462]. But Victoria Lucas was, The Bell Jar, was, you could buy it through William Hiderman and it came down from Canada [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16] to the United States and it's never been printed in the country. This is \\\"The Suicide\\\".\\n \\nJohn Wieners\\n00:15:06\\nReads \\\"The Suicide\\\" [published later in Selected Poems, 1958-1984].\\n \\nJohn Wieners\\n00:16:57\\nLet's read some happy poems, I'm getting depressed.\\n\\nUnknown\\n00:17:03\\n[Cut or edit made in tape].\\n\\nJohn Wieners\\n00:17:04\\nReads \\\"Ode on a Common Fountain\\\" [from Ace of Pentacles; recording jumps to mid-poem].\\n \\nJohn Wieners\\n00:19:51\\nThat's the first poem, I ever, I was twenty, so that was twelve years ago, that poem was written. Now I can go back--I'm still writing about Acis [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q419156] and Galatea [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q241070] but these are terribly sentimental and distraught, drunken poems, you can call them. Maybe we'll have one more, or is that anything from that first reading that you'd like to hear again? I'd rather not go into it. [Unknown audience member suggests poem. Title unintelligible]. Okay, that's what Spender [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q448764] did say to me, he said you look like a de-frocked priest, so. Which I thought was awfully cruel, but I think I am one, my sister was a nun, I'll be a priest.
