Fresh new publisher Query Books’ inaugural title, an expanded and beautifully redesigned new edition of James Broughton’s out of print 1993 memoir, “Coming Unbuttoned†provides a new generation of readers enhanced insight into the world of this rambunctious, pansexual poet and filmmaker - as well as a bit of extra juice for those of us who read it the first time around. James Richard Broughton (1913 – 1999), though widely travelled, spent most of his life in, out and around San Francisco. Here he made most of his 23 films, wrote many of his 21 books, and set type for his and Kermit Sheets ‘ Centaur Press. It was in San Francisco, while in his earliest teens, that Broughton, caught playing dress-up in his mother’s gowns and jewelry, was sent off to military school in Marin County, where he experienced his sexual awakening, recounted in significantly more explicit detail in this Query edition by virtue of the inclusion of a previously expurgated draft chapter. Also set in San Francisco and also new to this edition is an expanded chapter describing Broughton’s mid-1940s collaboration with Sidney Peterson on Broughton’s first foray into cinema, the film “The Potted Psalm,†evocatively set in Laurel Hill Cemetery even as the graves were being removed to make way for a shopping center (drawn to ruins, Broughton would film “The Pleasure Garden†in the devastated remains of London’s Crystal Palace seven years later). But curious as the back stories of his artistic endeavors are, the core appeal of “Coming Unbuttoned†is the gossip, and there’s plenty of it. Broughton seems to have rubbed elbows (and /or other bits and parts) with a boggling range of fascinating personalities. He fathered a child with film critic Pauline Kael, dropped acid with Alan Watts, participated in the Bay Area literary salons of poets Robert Duncan and Kenneth Rexroth (“his demeanor was that of a crotchety cactusâ€), pub crawled with Dylan Thomas, consorted in Paris with Brancusi, Cocteau, Genet and Giacometti, met Alice B. Toklas (“wearing a hat the size of a parasolâ€) at the premiere of “ Four Saints in Three Acts,†discussed publishing the diaries of Anais Nin (“she visited them regularly in the vault of the Bank of America in San Franciscoâ€), and hung out at Robinson Jeffers’ Tor House in Carmel … to name but a few of his celebrated companions. “Coming Unbuttoned†abounds in anecdotes and apercus. And Broughton proves himself a charming, frolicsome raconteur - perhaps taking after his father, a man whose wife somewhat grudgingly remarked "could charm the pants off a snake."Thomas Tavis: Librarian-at-Large, San Francisco, California
James Broughton, avant garde film maker, a play writer, and a poet, marched to a different drummer - but for much of his life, the drum beat of social conformity was also clamorously banging. In his memoir, recently reissued by Query Books, Broughton describes that as a small child, he experienced a visit by Hemes, an angel-sent being who told him he would be a poet - even if he tried not to be. The tension between this accepting, encouraging muse on the one hand, and an imperious, wealthy mother who would not accept a sissy poet for a son, is central in Broughton's life. Anxious and depressed, living in the post-war repression of the 40's and 50's, he is "saved from suicide" by the experience of film making, and the love among fellow artists that he discovers. He escapes to Europe for a few years, and receives a special award at Cannes, handed to him by one of his heroes, Cocteau. He returns to the states where he writes and publishes poetry with his friends of the San Francisco Renaissance, precursor to the Beats. Broughton is always on the cusp of the next big thing. When his mother died, he expected to feel relief, but was "surprised at my belated sympathy for this denunciatory parent who now appeared so feeble and deluded," and who continued to represent one part of his internal struggle. He married, a prevailing "cure" for homosexuality, and tried to make a semi-straight life with his wife, also an artist, and their children. In 1967, his film, "The Bed," became a sensation, visually representing Broughton's self-description as a "pansexual androgyne," with a wild array of people making merry use of a bed in a lovely field. Broughton continued to write poetry, made 10 films in 10 years, taught film making at a local college, raised children, met and may have slept with everyone who was anyone, adopted Jungian psychology and the Zen teachings and the LSD of his close friend Alas Watts - and nevertheless, found himself impotent and miserable, the dissonance of competing drumbeats unbearable. Then, unexpectedly, at age 61 years, Hermes again visits, this time as a real life man. Broughton will find happiness, peace and acceptance with this much younger man, with whom he spent the last quarter century of his life. "I could become fully my own kind of man, giving in as well as cutting loose." Broughton's memoir - his life time extended through most of the twentieth century - is an important documentation of one man's acceptance of his sexuality, of one man's process of creativity, of one man's rejecting conformity and repression to embrace his own "weirdness." Needless to say, his life philosophy - "adventure, not predicament" - left many of the people around him in uncomfortable predicaments, and it was difficult for this reader not to feel some pain for the collateral damage they must have experienced. His style is mostly a straightforward narrative, but he devolves into seemingly endless lists of the famous people whose paths he crossed - Robinson Jeffers, Maya Deren, Pauline Kael, Madeline Gleason, Imogen Cunningham, Robert Duncan - and is annoyingly gossipy, catty, and even downright mean at times. From play writer for the WPA, to the giddy poetry of a Radical Fairy, to his contributions in film making and of teaching film making, this story is of historical interest. I recommend having the internet on hand while reading in order to see excerpts of the films and to explore the lives of the many, many persons named. Ultimately, Broughton's memoir is a bittersweet story of struggling against bullies and repression, and against despair and depression, a story of a man who never ceases to work, explore, create and ultimately finds not only love, but harmony with the times in which he lived. It is a message of hope and promise.
Early on in James Broughton's memoir, he says, "[Mother] never understood that sissies like poets are tougher than they look, that they learn early to sidestep and outwit and endure, that they giggle rather than growl because, being pariahs, they are free to laugh at the delusions of the world and to kiss the joys as they fly." This was, clearly, wishful thinking. There is a good deal in "Coming Unbuttoned" that we wish Broughton could have laughed at, dismissed as delusion, or kissed as a passing joy. To hear him tell it, he was sexually irresistible, but he doesn't even have the decency to thank the fellow student who throws himself at his feet. And he is forever trying to find a girlfriend to please his mother. His imaginary friend "Hermy" instructs him to open his heart, to find magic in the moment, to dance with chance, but Broughton remains rather dour. "Though I met other poets of the thirties, from Delmore Schwartz to Phyllis McGinley, I failed to find a congenial mentor."Nevertheless, it is a fascinating read, spiced liberally with sex--- and there's lots of name-dropping. The impression I got from "Big Joy," the 2014 Broughton biopic, was that he was largely heterosexual until he was seduced by Joel Singer, the (much younger) love of his late life. Right or wrong, that is certainly not the story he tells in this memoir. Here we learn that he was a sexually active sissy from an early age, and that he continued his pansexual flirtations all his life-- at least until he met Singer. An excellent companion volume to Broughton's poems, this re-issue is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in 20th century poetry, in Queer Studies, in Radical Faeries, and in San Francisco history.
