History
Raymond Foye and Francesco Clemente founded Hanuman Books in 1986. Small handmade Indian prayer books, collected a year earlier on a trip to India, influenced Hanuman Books’ format and name. The American editor and Italian painter decided to publish a series of small handmade secular books to provide an outlet for contemporary writers, hard to find translations, and “exquisite expressions” of poets and artists. They named the press after Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god of grammar and bravery.
Foye and Clemente chose content after setting a publishing schedule of twelve books a year, six in the spring and six in the fall. Foye tended to emphasize younger American writers, such as Eileen Myles and David Trinidad. Clemente often suggested works in translation, including René Daumal, Henri Michaux, and Francis Picabia. Many of the early titles were published by default, after Foye tried to place titles with other publishers. Hanuman Books also solicited and received stories, poems and essays from well-known writers and visual artists, including John Ashbery, William Burroughs, Willem de Kooning, Allen Ginsberg, and Patti Smith.
Administrative and editorial functions, managed by Foye, took place at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. Paul Rickert worked closely with Foye from 1989-1993. Clemente, in addition to suggesting books, painted the Hanuman Books logo, contributed money to pay for printing in India, and envisioned the design of the books. Clemente, for example, suggested sending black and white author photographs to be hand tinted, so Indian printers would influence the books.
Hanuman books were printed at C.T. Nachiappan’s Kalakshetra Press in Madras, India. Books were hand-set in Monotype Times Roman on a letter press, and the acid-free pages were sewn together by local fishermen and others. Handmade Indian paper and vegetable dyes enabled colorful covers. Titles stamped in gold and tinted author photographs appear on the dust jackets. All of the books are 3" x 4" inches except for René Ricard’s God with Revolver . A larger format was necessary for Ricard’s unnumbered edition because the smaller bindings cannot hold more than twelve thousand words.
George Scrivani was Kalakshetra editor from 1986-1993. He exchanged corrections, concerns, and galleys with Foye and Rickert via telephone, fax, and mail. Books were shipped by boat from Madras to New York. Indian customs officials and obscenity laws affected the distribution of two books. Cookie Mueller’s Fan Mail , Frank Letters and Crank Calls held up a shipment of twenty thousand books in 1988 because officials objected to a picture of Priapus, a Roman fertility god. Hanuman Books eventually won the obscenity case, and reclaimed all of the books that were not ruined by customs officials. Nachiappan destroyed the first run of Bob Flanagan’s Fuck Journal because anti-obscenity regulations apply to printers in addition to publishers. Foye convinced Nachiappan to print five hundred additional copies, and smuggle them to the United States.
Foye and Rickert shipped Hanuman Books from the Chelsea Hotel to friends, individuals, and stores. Distributors, including Sun and Moon Press in Los Angeles and Small Press Distribution in Berkeley, also sold Hanuman books to bookstores and museums. Most retailers displayed the books near cash registers because of their unique size and sold each book for four or five dollars.
The last Hanuman books were published in 1993. Financial considerations and tensions among principal employees affected the press’ viability.
Biographies of Principal Employees:
Raymond Foye:
The Hanuman Books collection documents Foye’s professional and personal life. He made some distinction between personal and professional relationships in his files and in his editorial decisions at Hanuman Books (he published some friends and politely refused to publish others) but his professional and personal interests, activities, and relationships often overlapped.
Foye was born on January 29, 1957 in Lowell, Massachusetts. As an adolescent, he delivered The Lowell Sun to Jack Kerouac and read many of Kerouac’s books. He told Arts Magazine in 1988, “A City Lights book, a Grove Press book, these were like messages from another world.” Other publishing influences include Harry Crosby’s Black Sun Press, Robert Creeley’s Divers Press, John Martin’s Black Sparrow Press, the small presses of Claude Pelieu and Mary Beach, Ed Sanders, and Harry Brown, and magazines like Michael McClure’s Moby 2 Arc 1 and Wallace Berman’s Semina .
Foye studied painting and filmmaking at the Philadelphia College of Art and the San Francisco Art Institute. In 1978, he met Lawrence Ferlinghetti at a cafe in San Francisco’s North Beach, and accepted an opportunity to work at City Lights Books. Foye edited The Unknown Poe , worked on books with Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, and co-produced several important poetry readings during his three years at City Lights Books.
Foye moved to New York in 1980. He edited Bob Kaufman’s Ancient Rain for New Directions and John Wieners’ poetry for Black Sparrow Press. At Petersberg Press, he served as the Press' liaison with painters and artists, among them David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Motherwell. Henry Geldzahler introduced Foye to Francesco Clemente, and Foye proposed that Clemente contribute art work for an illustrated book. Foye’s and Clemente’s first collaboration produced The Departure of the Argonaut , as well as a willingness to work together on future projects. Foye also curated many art exhibits, including Clemente’s Three Worlds at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a William Burroughs exhibition at Gagosian Gallery in New York City.
Foye was professionally and personally involved with both the North Beach and Lower East Side scenes. Correspondence with contemporary writers and artists, including Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke, James Schuyler, and Anne Waldman, illustrates his ongoing participation in the American literary and art worlds of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Francesco Clemente:
Clemente was born in Naples, Italy in 1952. He studied architecture in Rome before leaving for a series of voyages to India and Afghanistan in 1973. Clemente’s art work has been exhibited in major retrospectives at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1990) and the Sezon Museum in Tokyo (1994). Other shows include exhibitions of: paintings at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida (1985-1987); drawings at the Kunstmuseum, Basel (1987-1988) and Centre Pompidou, Paris (1994); pastels at the National Gallery, Berlin (1984-1985); and prints at the Milwaukee Art Museum, (1988).
At the time of writing, Clemente, his wife Alba, and their four children were dividing their time among New York City, Rome, and Madras, India.
Paul Rickert:
Rickert was a student of John Clellon Holmes at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and has served as a literary editor to such poets as Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, and Gregory Corso. He was a contributing editor to The Portable Lower East Side and BLAST Books. He also assisted musical ethnologist Harry Smith on an edition of American Folk Music . (Biography from Hanuman Books publicity literature)
George Scrivani:
Scrivani is a noted writer, editor, and translator. He has published translations in Greek, Latin, Italian, and German. Scrivani is also a student of Tamil culture and languages. (Biography from Hanuman Books publicity literature)

Administrative Files [series]: Administrative Files (1986-1994) contain records documenting the management of Hanuman Books and is divided into four subseries. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically and filed at the beginning of the series. C.T. Nachiappan’s and George Scrivani’s correspondence relates to financial, editorial, and printing decisions at Kalakshetra Press in Madras, India. Most correspondents send essays, poetry, or stories, order books, or thank Raymond Foye for free copies of Hanuman books. Frequent correspondents include Louise Landes-Levi and Michael White. Well-known correspondents represented in the Administrative Files include Joe Brainard, Tom Clark, Diane Di Prima, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Alex Katz. Some of the richest correspondence, however, is found elsewhere in the collection-- in the Author Files, in the Publications series, or in Foye’s personal correspondence. Finances is the second subseries in the Administrative Files. Information regarding incorporation, foreign rights, imports, inventory, royalties, and taxes is available, but business functions are not comprehensively documented. The Printed material subseries provides information about Hanuman Books publicity. Broadsides, catalogs, flyers, mailing list addresses, and press releases illustrate Hanuman Books’ efforts to advertise books and the press. Positive and negative reviews gauge the success of Foye, Clemente, and the authors. The final subseries in the Administrative Files, Topical, consists of files of routine or miscellaneous items. “Faxes, 1990-1991,” for example, is a collection of Hanuman Books faxes arranged chronologically. “Hanuman Books, miscellaneous,” on the other hand, consists of Foye’s unmatched notes and printed material.

Publication Series [series]: The Publication Series (1986-1994) contains several subseries, including Author files, Book covers, Manuscripts/typescripts/galleys, Planned books, and Topical. Author files contain correspondence, biographical information, and writing. Please note that the correspondence of William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Herbert Huncke is located with the Raymond Foye Files since Foye’s primary interactions with the authors were unrelated to Hanuman Books. Foye interacted with Burroughs and Ginsberg socially and he helped raise money for Huncke’s living expenses. Researchers should use Author files in conjunction with folders included in the Manuscripts/typescripts/ galleys subseries. The Manuscripts/typescripts/ galleys subseries is arranged by author and contains manuscripts, edited versions of Hanuman Books titles, and corrected galleys. Foye and Clemente published fifty books between 1987 and 1993. The Book covers subseries contains selected dust jackets. Planned books consists of a collection of numbered folders with authors’ names. Foye, at one time, intended to publish some of the books after 1993. The Topical subseries contains Foye’s folders about other artists and authors.

Raymond Foye Files [series]: The Raymond Foye Files (1978-1996) consist of four subseries: Correspondence, Miscellaneous correspondence, Projects, and Topical. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically and, within folders, chronologically. Foye’s most prolific correspondents are Peg Biderman, John Chance, Kirby Doyle, Eileen Kaufman, and James Schuyler. Many of his other correspondents are well-known, including Victor Bockris, William Burroughs, Bruce Chatwin, Gregory Corso, Diego Cortez, Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke, Ted Joans, Jasper Johns, Bob Kaufman, Michael McClure, Duncan McNaughton, John Montgomery, Robert Motherwell, Gerald Nicosia, Harold Norse, David Salle, Gary Snyder, Michael Stipe, Philip Taaffe, and Anne Waldman. Miscellaneous correspondence contains letters or copies of letters addressed to Peg Biderman, Francesco Clemente, Gregory Corso, Robert Duncan, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Henry Geldzahler, Bob Kaufman, George Scrivani, and John Wieners. The Projects subseries documents Foye’s editing, curating, and archival activities before, during, and after Hanuman Books. Editing and curating activities include projects for Black Sparrow Press, City Lights Books, Gagosian Gallery, New Directions, and Petersberg Press. Archival projects include researching Samuel Greenberg in New York University's Fales Collection and arranging and describing James Schuyler’s records and Allen Ginsberg’s photo archives. Poets Bob Kaufman and John Wieners are well documented in the Projects subseries. The Topical subseries contains collected articles, notes, and writings from a variety of authors and artists. Manuscripts from John Chance, Kirby Doyle, Lewis Ellingham, and Cookie Mueller, lecture notes from a 1979 Philip Lamantia poetry class, and an invitation to Andy Warhol’s memorial service are also included in the Topical subseries.

Printed Material [series]: The final series, Printed Material, consists of six subseries: Announcements, Articles, Books, Broadsides/catalogs, Periodicals, and Postcards. Hundreds of reading, exhibition, and party announcements, included in the Announcements subseries, describe San Francisco and New York City literary and art scenes in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Broadsides/catalogs subseries contains publicity information for small presses and their authors. Forty-eight books, published primarily by small presses, constitute the Books subseries. A list of titles is provided in the Box List. A list of newsletters, literary magazines, and serials, included in the Periodicals subseries, also is provided. Selected titles include Beatitude , Harry Smith Newsletter , Magical Blend , Poetry Project Newsletter , Soho Review of Books , and The New Censorship .
