Biography
Born in Chicago, Ill. on September 12, 1922, Jackson Mac Low spent his grade school years studying music and poetry. In 1939,
he entered the University of Chicago to study philosophy, leaving there in 1943 with an Associate of Arts Degree and relocating
to New York City. In 1955, Mac Low enrolled in Brooklyn College, where he completed a Bachelors of Arts program in Greek in
1958. The bachelors degree allowed Mac Low to secure a number of better paying and more flexible jobs, thus giving him time
for his artistic career. He worked as reference-book editor and taught courses at New York University.
In February 1962, Mac Low married the painter Iris Lezak. In 1963 they gave birth to a son, Mordecai-Mark and, in 1966, to
a daughter, Clarinda. Mac Low and Iris Lezak divorced in 1978, and twelve years later he married Anne Tardos, a poet, composer,
multimedia artist.
Mac Low is the author of some thirty books of poetry, four play scripts, and numerous critical statements. His work has been
published by a range of trade and fine presses, and individual pieces have appeared in a great number of poetry journals.
Mac Low is known to most readers as an ardent practitioner of chance operations in poetry composition, which Mac Low first
experienced in the musical work of John Cage, Earle Brown, and Christian Wolff. But the poet Ron Silliman has suggested that
is a smaller part of Mac Low's overall importance. As Silliman explains, "Mac Low was more or less alone in the 1950s in his
explorations of poetic form as system (to my mind a far more important implication of his work than his use of chance operations,
which are merely one type of system)."
Mac Low's interest in poetry as system dates from 1954, when he used a chance operation to generate the text "5 biblical poems."
The poems he wrote during the previous sixteen years were more conventional expressions of the writer's emotions and reflections.
Most of these early poems have not yet been published (a handful do appear in the collection REPRESENTATIVE WORKS, 1986),
but are present in Mac Low's archive.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Mac Low's writing became prolific and more experimentally daring or reliant on what Mac Low describes
as non-intentional methods. THE MARRING MAIDEN, a theatrical work, was first performed by the Living Theatre in during the
1960-1961 season. A performance piece, action in the play was determined by action cards given to actors at random intervals
and by the director's scenarios. The plays language was determined using the I CHING. In STANZAS FOR IRIS LEZAK, a nearly
400 page work written in 1960 but published twelve years later, was generated from an assortment of religious and scientific
texts, newspapers, and whatever else the poet was reading at the time. A year later, Mac Low composed ASYMMETRIES 1-501, an
investigation of irregular poetic form, unlike the regular forms achieved in STANZAS FOR IRIS LEZAK.
In 1967, Mac Low's VERDUROUS SANGUINARIA was performed in Yoko Ono's loft as part of a series of "happenings" organized by
La Monte Young. This work was generated from chance operations applied to twenty-six dictionaries, and it is the only work
of Mac Low's to have yet been published by a university press. THE PRONOUNS, also written in the 1960s, was composed as a
book of poems and a score for actions. The work, which Jerome Rothenberg describes as taking "hold of those old workhorses
of our language," was conceived as a score for dance. While it has been performed infrequently, the work has become recognized
as Mac Low's most anthologized composition. Other works rendered during this period include 22 LIGHT POEMS (1968), THE VIRIGINIA
WOOLF POEMS (1985), WORDS ND ENDS FROM EZ (1989) and 42 MERZGEDICHTE IN MEMORIAM KURT SCHWITTERS (1994). Collectively they
reveal the various generative methods and source texts Mac Low employed in composing his texts.
From a formal point of view, 1954 marks a rupture in Mac Low's career, as conventional intentional strategies are displaced
by non-intentional strategies. But from a political perspective there is a certain and problematic continuity. Mac Low has
always been a political activist, a self-proclaimed pacifist-anarchist. This political stance is evident in the content of
the verse written before 1954, as it is also in the Mac Low's activity as an editor of anarchist publication. After 1954 and
Mac Low's increasing use of non-intentional strategies, the political stance is shifted to the poem's form and becomes actualized
in the transaction between the text and the reader. As Bruce Campbell has explained, Mac Low has no desire "to be a dictator....Instead
Mac Low wants to 'empower' the reader....The reader is not someone who simply gazes upon the work or arrives at a prefabricated
meaning; the reader helps to make the meaning." In short, using non-intentional strategies allows Mac Low to alter radically
the power relationship of conventional author / reader transactions.
Mac Low's work, because of its experimental and difficult characteristics, has not received a strong general audience; it
has been most enthusiastically read by poets broadly interested in some of the same poetic / aesthetic values Mac Low investigates
in his texts. Nevertheless, Mac Low has been the recipient of several awards: two Creative Artists Public Service Program
fellowships (1973-74 and 1976-77), a National Endowments for the Arts fellowship (1976), a Guggenheim Memorial fellowship
(1985), a Fulbright fellowship (1986) and, more recently, The Fund for Poetry awards (1988-89 and 1991-92).
Jackson Mac Low died on December 8, 2004.

CORRESPONDENCE
Scope and Content of Series
Series 3) CORRESPONDENCE: Documents Mac Low's relationships with other writers, artists, editors, publishers, and scholars
and the collaborative nature of many of his compositions. A lesser portion of the correspondence is from family, primarily
Mac Low's parents, his children and his wives.
Often the most interesting letters in this series come from Mac Low himself, as they tend to be typed, several pages long
and treat both professional and personal topics with great earnestness and candor. Insight into his creative impulses and
compositional methods is available throughout his correspondence, as well as glimpses into the private and/or political events
that influenced his writing.

WRITINGS
Scope and Content of Series
Series 4) WRITINGS: Arranged in five subseries: A) Poetry, Performances, Plays, and Music, B) Prose and Essays, C) Reviews,
D) Talks and Lectures, and E) Notes.
A) The Poetry, Performances, Plays, and Music subseries contains manuscripts and drafts of Mac Low's published works, collected
poems, individual poems, performance instructions, plays, and music. It comprises the bulk of the collection and is arranged
alphabetically by the title of the work. Mac Low's work tends to be progressive and constantly evolving; so many of his earlier
works are accompanied by later revisions, additional performance instructions, musical scores and collaborative adaptations.
Several texts were later revised using diastic computer-generated programs. Wherever possible, originals and all subsequent
additions and adaptations are foldered together. Computer-generated poetry produced during Mac Low's participation in the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Art and Technology Program is located under "PFR-3 Poems."
B) Prose and Essays: Arranged alphabetically by title.
C) Reviews
D) Talks and Lectures
E) Notes

PROGRAMS AND POSTERS
Scope and Content of Series
Series 8) PROGRAMS AND POSTERS: Arranged in two subseries: A) Jackson Mac Low and B) Others. The folders are arranged chronologically
by year beginning with the late 1950s and extending to 1995, and chronologically by date within each folder. Wherever apparent,
any poster or program in which Mac Low is listed as a performer or contributor is aggregated in the first subseries. The Others
subseries, however, is nearly as large, suggesting that Mac Low was very much invested in the work and performances of his
friends and peers.

DIGITAL FILES
Scope and Content of Series
Series 21) DIGITAL FILES: Content originally saved by Mac Low to his library of nearly 300 floppy disks and zip drives. Many
of the files were originally created or saved in versions of Microsoft Word from the early to mid-1990s, and are therefore
not readily viewable on modern computers with updated software. PDF renderings of all the documents have been created for
keyword searching and requesting on the Library's Digital Collections website (the original files in their native formats
have also been preserved). Original creation dates of the documents were captured and appear in the descriptions of the corresponding
PDF versions. The handwritten label, or inscription, on each disk was also included in the description for each file. Mac
Low tended to save and re-save files, and de-duplicating across the collection was performed using automated tools. Still,
some files may be similar or redundant. Most of the files are poems or letters (correspondence has been consolidated into

AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS
Scope and Content of Series
Series 22) AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS: An extensive collection of sound recordings of Mac Low's poetry performances, on reel to
reel and audiocassettes, plus a small number of films and video. The materials are arranged according to Jackson Mac Low's
personal filing system, which assigned unique numbers to most of the recordings and was loosely chronological. Many of the
recordings feature recitation of the same poem, but each performance is unique. Performances were frequently collaborative,
and the boxes for the reels and cassettes often include notes of the names of other performers and musicians.
Sound recordings have been reformatted, and listening copies are available. Due to copyright restrictions, access to recordings
is limited to the reading room or the Library's virtual reading room service. Please request recordings through the finding
aid, or the Digital Collections website.
Arranged in three subseries: A) Reel-to-Reel, B) Video and Film, and C) Audiocassettes.
A) Reel-to-Reel: Reels are arranged according to Mac Low's index system, with unique "RJ" and "RM" numbers assigned to most
of the recordings, with some untitled reels at the end. Most are 7.5", though there are other sizes in the collection. Prominent
titles include A Vocabulary for Sharon Belle Mattlin, Age of Anxiety, Asymmetries 1-190, Milarepa Gatha, The 5th Biblical
Poem, and The Text on the Opposite Page.
B) Video and Film: Titles include
Jacajurismetics, Tree Movie, and the Jackson Mac Low Retrospective Concert. Arranged chronologically.
C) Audiocassettes: Cassettes are arranged according to Mac Low's index system, with unique "CJ" and "CM" numbers assigned
to most of the recordings, followed by unnumbered cassettes arranged chronologically. Includes several hundred recordings
of poetry readings, performances, and festivals in which Mac Low was a participant, though some recordings may be of other
poets or musicians.
