This chapter starts with the poet Thomas Meyer’s first book The Bang Book, published by the Jargon Society in 1971, a work that came about via Meyer’s communications with Jack Spicer, which began in 1965 shortly after Spicer’s death. Meyer’s correspondence with Spicer’s ghost—as detailed in Meyer’s “The Correspondences (or Letters to J.S.)”—develops into a romantic relationship, which has lasting effects on Meyer and his poetic practice. After Meyer meets his longtime partner Jonathan Williams in 1968, Spicer slinks away, an abandonment that Meyer takes to heart. The ensuing sorrow is hinted at in only one of his projects, “The Book of Jonathan,” a work that remains unpublished to this day, only appearing in scraps and pieces as the erasure project O Nathan: Excerpts from The Book of Jonathan in 1973. “The Book of Jonathan” is a confessional journal, a celebration of Meyer’s love for Williams, but also indicative of a sort of exorcism, in which Meyer praises Williams for ridding him of Spicer’s infiltration. But Spicer’s ghost returns, as reflected in the re-publication of “The Correspondences (or Letters to J.S.)” in 1987 and inclusion of an additional letter detailing Meyer’s development of a poetic programming language called ALCIBIADES, an attempt to present Spicer with a new beloved acolyte so that he may write poetry again from beyond the grave.
