"The only firsthand account of a wrongful conviction overturned by DNA evidence"--Cover.
First published in 1969, reprinted in 1971 and again in 1988, this book is largely based on the private mystical and semi-mystical experiences confided to Dr Johnson by people in the everyday world who, recognising the validity of his work, were impelled to write to him. New, thoughtful readers, concerned to find out the truth about life, will find here the tolerant understanding which was his hallmark. The book -- already a classic in its field -- includes a solid core of mystical experience which Dr Johnson classifies in ascending order of depth and importance.
Imagine a country in which strikes by public-sector unions occupied the public square; where foreign policy wandered aimlessly as America disentangled itself from wars abroad and a potential civil war on its southern border; where racial and ethnic groups jostled for political influence; where a war on illicit substances led to violence in its cities; where technology was dramatically changing how mankind communicated and moved about—and where the educated harbored increasing contempt for the philosophic underpinnings of our republic.

Ray Johnson (1927-1995) was a celebrated maker of small-scale collages whose works influenced movements including Pop Art, Fluxus, and Conceptual Art. Trained at Black Mountain College, Johnson subsequently settled in New York and founded a mail art network known as the New York Correspondence School; he was extraordinarily adept at using social interaction as an artistic endeavor.0 Drawing on the vast collection of Johnson's work at the Art Institute of Chicago, this volume gives new shape to our understanding of his artistic practice and features hundreds of pieces that include artist's books, collages, drawings, mail art, and performance documentation. In keeping with Johnson's democratic, rhizomatic, and antihierarchical ethos, this indispensable resource on the artist's oeuvre contains 21 short essays by various contributors that allow readers to dip into and out of the book in a nonlinear manner of their own choosing.00Exhibition: Art Institute of Chicago, USA (23.01.-16.05.2021).
