The Buddhist Third Class Junkmail Oracle: The Art and Poetry of d.a. levy, 1999
In the introduction, Golden writes about levy's "The North American Book of the Dead." He states that "this is not only a major epic spiritual hymn, it is one of, if not the major post-modern shamanistic-poetic vision of America written this century. Read it straight through and levy will take you on a trip through not just the times he lived in, but through all time. He was, first and foremost, a writer of space, yet as visionary as his voice was, to this point he has been recognized primarily as a writer of place.' And that place was Cleveland. Golden also contributed an essay, "Portrait of a Young Man Trying to Eat the Sun." There are eight colored photographic reproductions of levy's collages in this book. The collage reproduced on page 99 is held by the Sackner Archive. In addition, several works from the Sackner Archive are reproduced in this book. This book is stored near the d.a. levy material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Man of Jasmine & Other Texts, 1994
Unica Zurn's writings are largely auto-biographical and reflect her long journey into mental illness. She was the long-time companion of Hans Bellmer. She produced poetry, novels, anagrams and automatic drawings and travelled in the artistic circles of the Surrealists. "The years from 1957 to 1967 are documented in the main text of the Man of Jasmine...The cycle of her crises, the contrasts between the miracles, her feelings of megalomania and the crushing banality and tedium of life in mental hospitals, is captured vividly...Zurn's acumen and artistry, her virtuosity as a writer were able to withstand her mental crises and depressions and allowed her to add a further masterpiece to a small precious row of unclassifiable works." Zurn committed suicide in 1969. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
