This book was edited by Raffaela Marzano and Sergio Iagulli. The latter contributed one introductory essay and David Meltzer the other. These long poems describing the 'hidden" encompass a period of 1972 to 2006. They began from Hirschman's reading of a work allegedly written by le Comte de St. Germain, a noted mystical personage whose legend is that since the 18th century he reppears ever young even to this day. The word "arcane" is derived from the Latin word Arcanum which means a place where occult or esoteric books or objects are preserved. The forms of the Arcanes are developed from sudden flashes of thoughts to a phrase or event to manifest the inner voices that Hirschman hears. A drawing by Hirschman accompanies 100 copies of this book (Sackner Archive copy). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Richard Minsky created the bookbinding and box for the poetic text written by Mitch Cullin entitled "Branches." The book was published by The Permanent Press. The illustrations were done by Ryuzo Kikushima. The front cover is punctured with five bullet holes. The cover consists of a sheriff's badge pinned to a shirt pocket and a name badge with the word "Branches." The box is affixed with a black gun leather holster on which the fifth amendment of the constitution is printed in gold, lowercase, italic text. The title of the book refers to the protagonist in the autobiographical poem, I.A.C. Branches, a bigoted Texas Sheriff, who uses his authority and gun without remorse to rape, torture gays, and shoot Mexican border intruders. The fifth amendment states that no person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual...

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.
