The sophisticated viewpoint of sex, ...knowledge of history and archeology found in these pages place them beyond the reach of any juvenile mind.\"","Crane was dubbed \"The Brooklyn Bard\" by the time she was 13 and became part of the Louis Untermeyer poetry circle during her late teens, with Untermeyer contributing an introduction to her 1936 volume Swear by the Night and Other Poems. He was an early promoter of her work, stating, \"some of the critics explained the work by insisting that the child was some sort of medium, an instrument unaware of what was played upon it; others, considering the book a hoax, scorned the fact that any child could have written verses so smooth in execution and so remarkable in spiritual overtones\" and that \"the appeal of such lines is not that they have been written by a child but by a poet.\"","She is supposedly related to Stephen Crane, author of The Red Badge of Courage, and the publicist, Dr. Frank Crane.","Source:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathalia_Crane\nEarly life"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMSS 16374, Nunnally Johnson collection of Nathalia Crane papers, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["MSS 16374, Nunnally Johnson collection of Nathalia Crane papers, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Nunnally Johnson collection of Nathalia Crane papers (1923-1926; 0.03 cubic feet) collection contains correspondence of Nunnally Johnson relating to Nathalia Crane, a child author whose authenticity was questioned.

When the institution opened in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, the governing body was its own Board of Trustees. The school changed its name to the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1914 and governance was shifted to the Virginia Normal School Board, a state agency. The institution was renamed once again in 1924 to the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg. The governance also experienced change as control was transferred to the State Board of Education. In 1964, the final change occurred when the Virginia General Assembly established independent boards of visitors for each of the state's former teacher colleges.","The Governor of Virginia holds the power of appointing each member of the Board of Visitors. The first Board of Visitors was comprised of 11 members; its first rector was Burr P. Harrison. The Virginia General Assembly acted to have the board size increased to 15 members in 1989. Of the selected members, no more than two can be non-Virginians and board members include both JMU alumni and non-alumni. In addition to appointed members, a student representative and the speaker of the JMU Faculty Senate serve on the board. Terms of service do apply as board members are not eligible to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Officers of the board (rector, vice rector, and secretary) are elected annually by the board for one-year terms.","The collection was reprocessed in 2016 and contains all documents from the original accession (PR 99-1122) except for the Faculty Minutes, 1908-1998, which were removed to form a separate collection (UA 0011). A copy of the original finding aid is located in the collection control file. Old collection folders were reused during reprocessing and folder titles were retained when possible. Inserts found in the Board of Trustees Minute Book were removed and foldered separately. The inserts were subsequently photocopied and those copies are also foldered separately. The Board of Visitors meeting minutes and President's Reports were originally bound, but were disbound in 2016 during reprocessing.","The Office of the President: Board of Visitors Records document the activities of the James Madison University Board of Visitors and its predecessor, the Board of Trustees.

Researchers should note that meeting minutes from the various iterations of university governing bodies between 1914 and 1963 are not included. The correspondence is chiefly official memoranda, letters concerning business and new board members, and contractual agreements granting faculty members temporary leaves of absence. The collection also includes annual reports and reports to the Board of Visitors, financial materials documenting lease agreements involving James Madison University, athletic program expenditure statements, and audit reports. Miscellaneous items include documents explaining the origins of buildings' names, a Board of Visitors manual, and a document of Board of Visitors Resolutions.","This series comprises chiefly Board of Visitors meeting minutes from 1964 to 2025 beginning with the first meeting on July 16, 1964.

Accessed January 26, 2017. https://www.jmu.edu/visitors/about/index.shtml.","James Madison University's Board of Visitors was created in 1964 with the prime directive of overseeing the effective government of the university, then Madison College. When the institution opened in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, the governing body was its own Board of Trustees. The school changed its name to the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1914 and governance was shifted to the Virginia Normal School Board, a state agency. The institution was renamed once again in 1924 to the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg. The governance also experienced change as control was transferred to the State Board of Education. In 1964, the final change occurred when the Virginia General Assembly established independent boards of visitors for each of the state's former teacher colleges.","The Governor of Virginia holds the power of appointing each member of the Board of Visitors. The first Board of Visitors was comprised of 11 members; its first rector was Burr P. Harrison. The Virginia General Assembly acted to have the board size increased to 15 members in 1989. Of the selected members, no more than two can be non-Virginians and board members include both JMU alumni and non-alumni. In addition to appointed members, a student representative and the speaker of the JMU Faculty Senate serve on the board. Terms of service do apply as board members are not eligible to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Officers of the board (rector, vice rector, and secretary) are elected annually by the board for one-year terms.","The collection was reprocessed in 2016 and contains all documents from the original accession (PR 99-1122) except for the Faculty Minutes, 1908-1998, which were removed to form a separate collection (UA 0011). A copy of the original finding aid is located in the collection control file. Old collection folders were reused during reprocessing and folder titles were retained when possible. Inserts found in the Board of Trustees Minute Book were removed and foldered separately. The inserts were subsequently photocopied and those copies are also foldered separately. The Board of Visitors meeting minutes and President's Reports were originally bound, but were disbound in 2016 during reprocessing.","The Office of the President: Board of Visitors Records document the activities of the James Madison University Board of Visitors and its predecessor, the Board of Trustees. The collection is comprised primarily of meeting minutes and correspondence. Minutes from the Board of Visitors' first meeting on July 16, 1964 are included. Researchers should note that meeting minutes from the various iterations of university governing bodies between 1914 and 1963 are not included. The correspondence is chiefly official memoranda, letters concerning business and new board members, and contractual agreements granting faculty members temporary leaves of absence. The collection also includes annual reports and reports to the Board of Visitors, financial materials documenting lease agreements involving James Madison University, athletic program expenditure statements, and audit reports. Miscellaneous items include documents explaining the origins of buildings' names, a Board of Visitors manual, and a document of Board of Visitors Resolutions.","This series comprises chiefly Board of Visitors meeting minutes from 1964 to 2025 beginning with the first meeting on July 16, 1964. During that first meeting the members decided on the official design for \"The Visitors of Madison College,\" agreed upon making the meetings of the Visitors closed to the public, approved of the revised faculty salary, and approved the continuation of degrees being offered to students. Also included is the original Board of Trustees minute book dating from 1908 to 1914. A full transcript is also contained within this series.","This series contains correspondence between fellow board members, government officials, and members of the university administration. Contract agreements between board members and faculty of the college are included. Topics of interest include but are not limited to campus construction and related funding, appropriation increases, project requests, requests related to enrollment increases, G. Tyler Miller's retirement, and faculty promotions.","This series contains documents about the naming of buildings on campus as well as information on resolutions, manuals, honorary degrees and the Russell Weaver Society.","The reports contain data regarding enrollment, campus services, faculty salaries, and financial records. Also included are recommendations from the president on approvals of resignations and appointments, budget increases, academic changes, campus expansion, etc. These reports provide an overview of the administrative proceedings of the university from one year to the next and are comprised of reports to the State Board of Education, reports to the Board of Visitors, annual reports, and special reports.","Subseries 5.1: Leases/Legal Documents, 1922-1981, is comprised primarily of lease agreements between James Madison University, both as the lessor and lessee, and persons or companies. Of particular interest are the fire insurance documents which include a Schedule of Buildings at the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg (June 2, 1924) and a Fire Insurance Report on State Teacher's College, Harrisonburg, Virginia (February 1932) prepared by the Philadelphia Fire \u0026 Marine Insurance Company. The Schedule of Buildings lists all campus buildings, their architectural type, date of erection, and total cost. The Fire Insurance Report provides a detailed description of all campus buildings (including University Farm properties in Port Republic) and includes date of erection, occupancy, recommendations, estimated insurable value, and campus map. Photographs are included with each building description.","List of campus buildings detailed (with photographs) in the fire insurance report:","Spotswood Hall Sheldon Hall Johnston Hall Alumnae Hall Walter Reed Hall (Keezell Hall) Wilson Hall Maury Hall (Gabbin Hall) Jackson Hall (Darcus Johnson Hall) Harrison Hall Ashby Hall (Harper Allen-Lee Hall) Hillcrest House Practice House (Varner House) Cleveland Cottage Carter House Cottage No. 2 Stable Practice House (Hooke House) - University Farm, Port Republic Duke Cottage - University Farm, Port Republic Barn - University Farm, Port Republic Caretaker's Dwelling - University Farm, Port Republic","Subseries 5.2: Budget Reports, 1961-1989, contains annual reports, financial reports detailing the university's business and financial operations, reports on audits prepared by the auditor of public accounts for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and a limited amount of material related to athletic program expenses.

Collection apparently stored in a basement but no active mold. Some oversize materials were folded but these have been put in oversize folders or boxes and a few had preservation attention. Mylar L-sleeves have been used to protect some fragile materials.","Most of the collection is open for research. The single exception is a bank book for an account owned by Petra Vogt.","The bank book belonging to Petra Vogt, 1977-1978, has been removed and restricted until her death. It has been placed in the control folder for this collection in a sealed envelope. The bank book is from the Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechsel-Bank (short form: Hypo-Bank). ","Materials arrived organized by the dealer into the following four series and additional subseries: Series I. Correspondence; Series II. Petra Vogt files; Subseries II.1 Notebooks; Subseries II.2 Artworks and artist files; Subseries II.3 Collage files Series III. Ira Cohen and Bardo Matrix; Subseries III.1 Ira Cohen materials; Subseries III.2 Bardo Matrix publications; Subseries III.3 Flyers, ephemera, broadsides; Series IV Photographs.","This arrangement has been simplified into three series, 1) Volumes, Journals and Notebooks, chiefly by Petra Vogt; 2) Correspondence, Artwork and Topical Files; and 3) Photographs, chiefly by Ira Cohen. These series contain oversize materials that have been placed in more appropriate containers but are listed in the appropriate series.","Much of this biographical and historical information was taken from the dealer description of the collection. ","Petra Vogt was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1943, during a particularly devastating year of World War Two airstrikes on the city. She took acting classes in Munich and then returned to Berlin, where she saw The Living Theatre for the first time and decided to join the group in 1962. She traveled and performed extensively with The Living Theatre, including in the performance, \"Paradise Now.\" She met Ira Cohen at its New Haven show (phone conversation between Ira Cohen and Carey Loren, which was transcribed on \"Blastitude, Eternity Blast Special,\" no. 13. August 2002). ","In 1971, Vogt and Cohen finally landed in Kathmandu, after extensive traveling through Morocco, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and India. Living in Kathmandu from around 1972 to 1978, Vogt was an artistic, photographic, and social muse to partner Cohen, as well as Nepali hippies including Jimmy Thapa and Trilochan Shrestha.  While in Nepal, she produced numerous notebooks of poetry, diaries, and artworks, while illustrating Bardo Matrix Starstreams publications, as well as Cohen's work, including \"Poems from the Cosmic Crypt.\"","While Vogt is peripherally featured in the archives of Ira Cohen, Angus MacLise, Dana Young, and other Bardo Matrix collaborators, her own contributions to this important facet of the countercultural poetics scene are significantly understudied. While Mark Liechty's \"Far Out: Countercultural Seekers and the Tourist Encounter in Nepal\" (University of Chicago Press, 2017), acknowledges her centrality to the scene and describes her role in organizing events, performances, and generally contributing to the dramatically-dressed scene in Kathmandu, no further articles or monographs solidify the contributions of her writings, artworks, or aesthetic. ","During the 1970s, Vogt was known for her foreboding dark outfits and makeup; her aesthetic marks her as an unheralded progenitor of goth style, which began to be codified in music scenes around the same time. Photographs of her from her time in Nepal in the 1970s were featured in a recent Photo Kathmandu festival in 2018. She continues to write and make art under a different name in Germany.  ","Ira Cohen (1935–2011) was a noted poet, publisher, filmmaker, and photographer, known especially for his Mylar photographs, which he created between 1968 and 1971 in New York City. These works were inspired by Jack Smith and Bill Devore's black light experimentation, and required subjects to enter his \"Mylar Chamber,\" a makeshift room comprised of the reflective film, which Cohen would then photograph to produce distorted and psychedelic images of his subjects. ","This produced iconic images that Life magazine in 1969 said captured the \"euphoric distortions of hallucinogenics\" during the countercultural era, with participants such as Jimi Hendrix, William Burroughs, Jack Smith, Brion Gysin, Angus MacLise, Paul Bowles, and Petra Vogt, among many others. These photographs have been exhibited in the 2006 \"Summer of Love\" exhibition organized by the Tate Liverpool and featured at the Whitney Museum, and are the subject of a new book, \"Ira Cohen: Into the Mylar Chamber\" which was published by Fulgar Press in 2019 with text by Ira Cohen, Timothy Baum, Ian MacFadyen, Alice Farley, Ira Landgarten, and Thurston Moore, and edited by Allan Graubard. ","Kathmandu, Nepal, held a vibrant expatriate community of poets, musicians, artists, and spiritual seekers in the 1970s, in large part due to the Bardo Matrix collective — a group that began in Boulder, Colorado as The Experimental Cinema Group, and initially included Angus MacLise, John Chick, Dana Young, and Ira Cohen. Bardo Matrix Press, and especially the Starstreams Poetry Series, created collaborations with Beat and countercultural poets and local artisans to produce books informed by traditional Nepali and Tibetan traditions, sharing new poetic ideas.","Before 1971, when Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt arrived, a small group of expatriates had already become involved making woodblock prints to sell to tourists. Cohen recounts the presence of Ian Alsop, Francis Brooks, and Simon White, who \"were to play an important role in the development of small press publications by myself, my old friend and comrade, poet-calligrapher, Angus MacLise, and other poets who quickly formed a community in the Kathmandu Valley.\" ","MacLise's work with Piero Heliczer on Dead Language Press, \"making unique books from tree bark or fashioning long horizontal handmade books after the Tibetan or Indian style,\" proved influential: it was Angus who, \"working with local craftsmen and woodblock artists, really began the great rice paper adventure.\" (Ira Cohen, \"The Great Rice Paper Adventure: Kathmandu, 1971–1977.\" New Observations no. 106, May/June 1995. Online at Big Bridge, no. 5.)","In Kathmandu, on so-called \"Freak Street\" or Jhocchen Tole, John Chick opened a bookshop named \"The Spirit Catcher.\" The shop was open around 1972–1979, and provided a weekly forum for poetry readings, music, and community. This shop cemented the centrality of the roles of Vogt, Cohen, Chick, and MacLise in the countercultural community abroad, and became both a tourist and local destination (Prawash Gautam, \"How a used bookstore in Kathmandu's Jhochhen captured the spirit of the hippie movement,\" \"The Kathmandu Post,\" December 18, 2018).","These photographs were originally stored in three binders with descriptions of the contents provided by the dealer. They had been removed from the binders and placed in folders when the processor received them but the order of the contents has been maintained, with the binder numbers.","This collection contains journals, artworks, correspondence, and photographs that illuminate the life and work of Petra Vogt, a poet, actress, artist, and model, known for her involvement with the Living Theatre, Ira Cohen, and the Bardo Matrix Press during the 1960s and 1970s. Of particular interest are thirty-four journals, chiefly by Petra Vogt, with poetry, prose works, diary entries, and intricate rapidograph drawings along with collage, paintings, and other artworks within; about 150 artworks by Vogt, as well as handmade books of Ira Cohen's photographs and collage, 850 photographs by Ira Cohen, including those from his Mylar photography series and 60 pieces of correspondence and post cards addressed to Vogt and Cohen.","The \"Adressen-Telefon\", a small silver address book, with Petra's name inscribed on the front page, contains some addresses in New York, Paris, and Munich, with phone numbers, two calling or business cards, one for Hugo Vogt in Stuttgart, and a snapshot of Petra Vogt, all loose inside the volume. ","\nThe second volume is a small black address book, which includes a handful of addresses and phone numbers of friends, stamped with P. and B. Abele, Stuttgart, Buchenstrasse, with a calling card for Pierre Fabricius and a small snapshot of a trailer with the name \"Tony\" on the back (volumes are numbered 1-2 in dealer description of notebooks).","Volumes include one small black and red snakeskin-patterned address book, with addresses and phone numbers, notes concerning Ira Cohen, calculations, grocery lists, and journalist writings, with a single page dated 1977, and a small black \"addressen\" book with many addresses containing a purple and black drawing on the inside back cover (volumes are numbered 3-4 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small black diary has \"Kwality\" stamped on the cover, and the first entry begins on July 22, 1973, with approximately 133 pages of poems, with some celebrating births and deaths in the community. The volume includes detailed dated diary entries, including discussions of how Petra Vogt prepared for photography sessions, as well as collages that accompany writings, artworks, and small portions of an unidentified script. It also includes autograph writings by Ira Cohen in the beginning, as well as a lock of Petra Vogt's hair tied with purple thread (volume is numbered 8 in dealer description of notebooks).","The other volume is one thin diary  with brown wrappers covering the period from September through November 1973, with a multi-page essay on \"meta darkness\" and the qualities and rights of the counterculture generation, hand-colored and inscribed back pages in purple ink, illustrations, and writings about or a prayer to Chandeen (item is numbered 6 in dealer description of notebooks).","The diaries include one small thick black cloth diary/calendar, with frequent journal entries for January 1974 (numbered 5 in dealer description of notebooks)and an undated small handmade diary covered in silver paper, with about forty pages of poetry and small colored artworks (numbered 7 in dealer description of notebooks).","\nThe third diary is a notebook, February-March, 1974?, with lined pages and no cover, containing approximately sixteen pages of poetry, including drawings. This volume also contains a transcription of a poem, \"Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines\" by Dylan Thomas (numbered 13 in dealer description of notebooks).","The black sketchbook contains approximately 36 pages of highly detailed rapidograph drawings with watercolor and collage. It also includes an autograph poem \"XZAN,\" signed by Ira Cohen, with his glyph, and a signed sketch for Petra Vogt by Dana Young laid in, with the title \"Stolen Pen? Drawing for Petra\" (numbered 9 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook consisting of a black wrapper has loose collaging materials laid in, which includes gold and other colored papers, clippings, drawings, photographs, tarot cards, and a blank postcard (item numbered 14 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small handmade art journal or diary in lokta paper wrappers has a collaged cover of flowers and additional lokta papers. It matches a larger book version in Oversize Folder 8. The volume contains preparations for collages, with a few collages laid in, and is stamped throughout with the Bardo Matrix woodcut of a swan that also appears in the Bardo Matrix ephemera folders (item is numbered 10 in the dealer description of notebooks).","The small journal in brown paper wrappers, printed for the 1976 calendar year, contains extensive prose and poetic reflections, pen and ink drawings, collages, along with names and addresses. Laid in, there is a prescription for Gelonida (a painkiller), a bank withdrawal slip, a business card, and clippings from comics. There are approximately 56 pages of top-to-bottom text and artwork (numbered 11 in dealer description of notebooks).","The journal has red cloth over paper wrappers, with entries dating 1977 to 1979, with extensive addresses, phone numbers and names noted (including Ira Cohen). The handwriting in this journal is not Petra Vogt's.","The journal was likely kept by a person named John who was staying with Paul Gyss and possibly Petra Vogt at some point. The person writes diaristic details, with a few poems, and includes reflections about drug use, Ted Clarke, Jimmy Shelling, Paul Gyss, George [Andrews?], Maggie, and others, as well as details about travels in Goa, India, Kathmandu, and Pokara (Pokhara?), Nepal. ","The author turned 37 on August 1, 1979, writing \"unless I O.D. or walk into the river tonight\". Though not Petra Vogt's, this is an important item in fleshing out the daily life in Kathmandu (numbered 12 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook has a gold foil cover and a black fleur-de-lis pattern and was likely used as a music study book, with approximately six leaves of musical annotations (likely traditional music from Nepal), and two loose photographs of unidentified musicians (numbered 15 in dealer description of notebooks).","Most of the handwriting in the volume is not Petra Vogt's, except for four pages of drawings and an autograph poem with \"July 1974\" dated at the top of the page. The diary is in black plastic wrappers, with 81 leaves of poetry in purple, black and green ink, generally fair copies of work.

Ira Cohen and Bardo Matrix; Subseries III.1 Ira Cohen materials; Subseries III.2 Bardo Matrix publications; Subseries III.3 Flyers, ephemera, broadsides; Series IV Photographs.","This arrangement has been simplified into three series, 1) Volumes, Journals and Notebooks, chiefly by Petra Vogt; 2) Correspondence, Artwork and Topical Files; and 3) Photographs, chiefly by Ira Cohen. These series contain oversize materials that have been placed in more appropriate containers but are listed in the appropriate series.","Much of this biographical and historical information was taken from the dealer description of the collection. ","Petra Vogt was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1943, during a particularly devastating year of World War Two airstrikes on the city. She took acting classes in Munich and then returned to Berlin, where she saw The Living Theatre for the first time and decided to join the group in 1962. She traveled and performed extensively with The Living Theatre, including in the performance, \"Paradise Now.\" She met Ira Cohen at its New Haven show (phone conversation between Ira Cohen and Carey Loren, which was transcribed on \"Blastitude, Eternity Blast Special,\" no. 13. August 2002). ","In 1971, Vogt and Cohen finally landed in Kathmandu, after extensive traveling through Morocco, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and India. Living in Kathmandu from around 1972 to 1978, Vogt was an artistic, photographic, and social muse to partner Cohen, as well as Nepali hippies including Jimmy Thapa and Trilochan Shrestha.  While in Nepal, she produced numerous notebooks of poetry, diaries, and artworks, while illustrating Bardo Matrix Starstreams publications, as well as Cohen's work, including \"Poems from the Cosmic Crypt.\"","While Vogt is peripherally featured in the archives of Ira Cohen, Angus MacLise, Dana Young, and other Bardo Matrix collaborators, her own contributions to this important facet of the countercultural poetics scene are significantly understudied. While Mark Liechty's \"Far Out: Countercultural Seekers and the Tourist Encounter in Nepal\" (University of Chicago Press, 2017), acknowledges her centrality to the scene and describes her role in organizing events, performances, and generally contributing to the dramatically-dressed scene in Kathmandu, no further articles or monographs solidify the contributions of her writings, artworks, or aesthetic. ","During the 1970s, Vogt was known for her foreboding dark outfits and makeup; her aesthetic marks her as an unheralded progenitor of goth style, which began to be codified in music scenes around the same time. Photographs of her from her time in Nepal in the 1970s were featured in a recent Photo Kathmandu festival in 2018. She continues to write and make art under a different name in Germany.  ","Ira Cohen (1935–2011) was a noted poet, publisher, filmmaker, and photographer, known especially for his Mylar photographs, which he created between 1968 and 1971 in New York City. These works were inspired by Jack Smith and Bill Devore's black light experimentation, and required subjects to enter his \"Mylar Chamber,\" a makeshift room comprised of the reflective film, which Cohen would then photograph to produce distorted and psychedelic images of his subjects. ","This produced iconic images that Life magazine in 1969 said captured the \"euphoric distortions of hallucinogenics\" during the countercultural era, with participants such as Jimi Hendrix, William Burroughs, Jack Smith, Brion Gysin, Angus MacLise, Paul Bowles, and Petra Vogt, among many others. These photographs have been exhibited in the 2006 \"Summer of Love\" exhibition organized by the Tate Liverpool and featured at the Whitney Museum, and are the subject of a new book, \"Ira Cohen: Into the Mylar Chamber\" which was published by Fulgar Press in 2019 with text by Ira Cohen, Timothy Baum, Ian MacFadyen, Alice Farley, Ira Landgarten, and Thurston Moore, and edited by Allan Graubard. ","Kathmandu, Nepal, held a vibrant expatriate community of poets, musicians, artists, and spiritual seekers in the 1970s, in large part due to the Bardo Matrix collective — a group that began in Boulder, Colorado as The Experimental Cinema Group, and initially included Angus MacLise, John Chick, Dana Young, and Ira Cohen. Bardo Matrix Press, and especially the Starstreams Poetry Series, created collaborations with Beat and countercultural poets and local artisans to produce books informed by traditional Nepali and Tibetan traditions, sharing new poetic ideas.","Before 1971, when Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt arrived, a small group of expatriates had already become involved making woodblock prints to sell to tourists. Cohen recounts the presence of Ian Alsop, Francis Brooks, and Simon White, who \"were to play an important role in the development of small press publications by myself, my old friend and comrade, poet-calligrapher, Angus MacLise, and other poets who quickly formed a community in the Kathmandu Valley.\" ","MacLise's work with Piero Heliczer on Dead Language Press, \"making unique books from tree bark or fashioning long horizontal handmade books after the Tibetan or Indian style,\" proved influential: it was Angus who, \"working with local craftsmen and woodblock artists, really began the great rice paper adventure.\" (Ira Cohen, \"The Great Rice Paper Adventure: Kathmandu, 1971–1977.\" New Observations no. 106, May/June 1995. Online at Big Bridge, no. 5.)","In Kathmandu, on so-called \"Freak Street\" or Jhocchen Tole, John Chick opened a bookshop named \"The Spirit Catcher.\" The shop was open around 1972–1979, and provided a weekly forum for poetry readings, music, and community. This shop cemented the centrality of the roles of Vogt, Cohen, Chick, and MacLise in the countercultural community abroad, and became both a tourist and local destination (Prawash Gautam, \"How a used bookstore in Kathmandu's Jhochhen captured the spirit of the hippie movement,\" \"The Kathmandu Post,\" December 18, 2018).","These photographs were originally stored in three binders with descriptions of the contents provided by the dealer. They had been removed from the binders and placed in folders when the processor received them but the order of the contents has been maintained, with the binder numbers.","This collection contains journals, artworks, correspondence, and photographs that illuminate the life and work of Petra Vogt, a poet, actress, artist, and model, known for her involvement with the Living Theatre, Ira Cohen, and the Bardo Matrix Press during the 1960s and 1970s. Of particular interest are thirty-four journals, chiefly by Petra Vogt, with poetry, prose works, diary entries, and intricate rapidograph drawings along with collage, paintings, and other artworks within; about 150 artworks by Vogt, as well as handmade books of Ira Cohen's photographs and collage, 850 photographs by Ira Cohen, including those from his Mylar photography series and 60 pieces of correspondence and post cards addressed to Vogt and Cohen.","The \"Adressen-Telefon\", a small silver address book, with Petra's name inscribed on the front page, contains some addresses in New York, Paris, and Munich, with phone numbers, two calling or business cards, one for Hugo Vogt in Stuttgart, and a snapshot of Petra Vogt, all loose inside the volume. ","\nThe second volume is a small black address book, which includes a handful of addresses and phone numbers of friends, stamped with P. and B. Abele, Stuttgart, Buchenstrasse, with a calling card for Pierre Fabricius and a small snapshot of a trailer with the name \"Tony\" on the back (volumes are numbered 1-2 in dealer description of notebooks).","Volumes include one small black and red snakeskin-patterned address book, with addresses and phone numbers, notes concerning Ira Cohen, calculations, grocery lists, and journalist writings, with a single page dated 1977, and a small black \"addressen\" book with many addresses containing a purple and black drawing on the inside back cover (volumes are numbered 3-4 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small black diary has \"Kwality\" stamped on the cover, and the first entry begins on July 22, 1973, with approximately 133 pages of poems, with some celebrating births and deaths in the community. The volume includes detailed dated diary entries, including discussions of how Petra Vogt prepared for photography sessions, as well as collages that accompany writings, artworks, and small portions of an unidentified script. It also includes autograph writings by Ira Cohen in the beginning, as well as a lock of Petra Vogt's hair tied with purple thread (volume is numbered 8 in dealer description of notebooks).","The other volume is one thin diary  with brown wrappers covering the period from September through November 1973, with a multi-page essay on \"meta darkness\" and the qualities and rights of the counterculture generation, hand-colored and inscribed back pages in purple ink, illustrations, and writings about or a prayer to Chandeen (item is numbered 6 in dealer description of notebooks).","The diaries include one small thick black cloth diary/calendar, with frequent journal entries for January 1974 (numbered 5 in dealer description of notebooks)and an undated small handmade diary covered in silver paper, with about forty pages of poetry and small colored artworks (numbered 7 in dealer description of notebooks).","\nThe third diary is a notebook, February-March, 1974?, with lined pages and no cover, containing approximately sixteen pages of poetry, including drawings. This volume also contains a transcription of a poem, \"Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines\" by Dylan Thomas (numbered 13 in dealer description of notebooks).","The black sketchbook contains approximately 36 pages of highly detailed rapidograph drawings with watercolor and collage.

Drawing for Petra\" (numbered 9 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook consisting of a black wrapper has loose collaging materials laid in, which includes gold and other colored papers, clippings, drawings, photographs, tarot cards, and a blank postcard (item numbered 14 in dealer description of notebooks).","The small handmade art journal or diary in lokta paper wrappers has a collaged cover of flowers and additional lokta papers. It matches a larger book version in Oversize Folder 8. The volume contains preparations for collages, with a few collages laid in, and is stamped throughout with the Bardo Matrix woodcut of a swan that also appears in the Bardo Matrix ephemera folders (item is numbered 10 in the dealer description of notebooks).","The small journal in brown paper wrappers, printed for the 1976 calendar year, contains extensive prose and poetic reflections, pen and ink drawings, collages, along with names and addresses. Laid in, there is a prescription for Gelonida (a painkiller), a bank withdrawal slip, a business card, and clippings from comics. There are approximately 56 pages of top-to-bottom text and artwork (numbered 11 in dealer description of notebooks).","The journal has red cloth over paper wrappers, with entries dating 1977 to 1979, with extensive addresses, phone numbers and names noted (including Ira Cohen). The handwriting in this journal is not Petra Vogt's.","The journal was likely kept by a person named John who was staying with Paul Gyss and possibly Petra Vogt at some point. The person writes diaristic details, with a few poems, and includes reflections about drug use, Ted Clarke, Jimmy Shelling, Paul Gyss, George [Andrews?], Maggie, and others, as well as details about travels in Goa, India, Kathmandu, and Pokara (Pokhara?), Nepal. ","The author turned 37 on August 1, 1979, writing \"unless I O.D. or walk into the river tonight\". Though not Petra Vogt's, this is an important item in fleshing out the daily life in Kathmandu (numbered 12 in dealer description of notebooks).","The notebook has a gold foil cover and a black fleur-de-lis pattern and was likely used as a music study book, with approximately six leaves of musical annotations (likely traditional music from Nepal), and two loose photographs of unidentified musicians (numbered 15 in dealer description of notebooks).","Most of the handwriting in the volume is not Petra Vogt's, except for four pages of drawings and an autograph poem with \"July 1974\" dated at the top of the page.

Two poems are dedicated to Petra Vogt, \"To the Friend\" and \"Homecoming.\" One poem \"Eros\" is possibly by Petra Vogt but is in the handwriting of another author.

While Mark Liechty's \"Far Out: Countercultural Seekers and the Tourist Encounter in Nepal\" (University of Chicago Press, 2017), acknowledges her centrality to the scene and describes her role in organizing events, performances, and generally contributing to the dramatically-dressed scene in Kathmandu, no further articles or monographs solidify the contributions of her writings, artworks, or aesthetic. ","During the 1970s, Vogt was known for her foreboding dark outfits and makeup; her aesthetic marks her as an unheralded progenitor of goth style, which began to be codified in music scenes around the same time. Photographs of her from her time in Nepal in the 1970s were featured in a recent Photo Kathmandu festival in 2018. She continues to write and make art under a different name in Germany.  ","Ira Cohen (1935–2011) was a noted poet, publisher, filmmaker, and photographer, known especially for his Mylar photographs, which he created between 1968 and 1971 in New York City. These works were inspired by Jack Smith and Bill Devore's black light experimentation, and required subjects to enter his \"Mylar Chamber,\" a makeshift room comprised of the reflective film, which Cohen would then photograph to produce distorted and psychedelic images of his subjects. ","This produced iconic images that Life magazine in 1969 said captured the \"euphoric distortions of hallucinogenics\" during the countercultural era, with participants such as Jimi Hendrix, William Burroughs, Jack Smith, Brion Gysin, Angus MacLise, Paul Bowles, and Petra Vogt, among many others. These photographs have been exhibited in the 2006 \"Summer of Love\" exhibition organized by the Tate Liverpool and featured at the Whitney Museum, and are the subject of a new book, \"Ira Cohen: Into the Mylar Chamber\" which was published by Fulgar Press in 2019 with text by Ira Cohen, Timothy Baum, Ian MacFadyen, Alice Farley, Ira Landgarten, and Thurston Moore, and edited by Allan Graubard. ","Kathmandu, Nepal, held a vibrant expatriate community of poets, musicians, artists, and spiritual seekers in the 1970s, in large part due to the Bardo Matrix collective — a group that began in Boulder, Colorado as The Experimental Cinema Group, and initially included Angus MacLise, John Chick, Dana Young, and Ira Cohen. Bardo Matrix Press, and especially the Starstreams Poetry Series, created collaborations with Beat and countercultural poets and local artisans to produce books informed by traditional Nepali and Tibetan traditions, sharing new poetic ideas.","Before 1971, when Ira Cohen and Petra Vogt arrived, a small group of expatriates had already become involved making woodblock prints to sell to tourists. Cohen recounts the presence of Ian Alsop, Francis Brooks, and Simon White, who \"were to play an important role in the development of small press publications by myself, my old friend and comrade, poet-calligrapher, Angus MacLise, and other poets who quickly formed a community in the Kathmandu Valley.\" ","MacLise's work with Piero Heliczer on Dead Language Press, \"making unique books from tree bark or fashioning long horizontal handmade books after the Tibetan or Indian style,\" proved influential: it was Angus who, \"working with local craftsmen and woodblock artists, really began the great rice paper adventure.\" (Ira Cohen, \"The Great Rice Paper Adventure: Kathmandu, 1971–1977.\" New Observations no. 106, May/June 1995. Online at Big Bridge, no. 5.)","In Kathmandu, on so-called \"Freak Street\" or Jhocchen Tole, John Chick opened a bookshop named \"The Spirit Catcher.\" The shop was open around 1972–1979, and provided a weekly forum for poetry readings, music, and community. This shop cemented the centrality of the roles of Vogt, Cohen, Chick, and MacLise in the countercultural community abroad, and became both a tourist and local destination (Prawash Gautam, \"How a used bookstore in Kathmandu's Jhochhen captured the spirit of the hippie movement,\" \"The Kathmandu Post,\" December 18, 2018)."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePetra Vogt papers, MSS 16480, 1966-1978, Special Collections, University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Petra Vogt papers, MSS 16480, 1966-1978, Special Collections, University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Virginia."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThese photographs were originally stored in three binders with descriptions of the contents provided by the dealer.
