Broken unbowed
Camaraderie and anger fuel punk singer Jim Martin
Hank Hoffman
Jim Martin has a quick answer for why he was attracted
to punk: “I was an angry young boy!” It was the late
1970s and the “time was right. I came from a broken
home and I was acting out.”
For the better part of the past two decades, Martin has
fronted the hardcore punk band Broken. Drummer Ken
Cushen, bass player “Hoss” Austin, and guitarists Gerry
Stopper and Jason Gorman join Martin, the only remain-
ing original member. The current band has been together
over four years with Gorman’s and Cushen’s tenures
exceeding a decade each. Broken, which has numerous
tours of the United States under its belt, has also per-
formed in Canada, Mexico, and several European coun-
tries. The group’s aggressive, pummeling, often-political
music has been showcased on numerous seven-inch 45s
and compact discs.
The combination of the buzzsaw music and anti-
authoritarian message in punk hooked Martin.
“It was the soundtrack, the pulse. It was aggressive
and I was feeling aggressive, locked in. ‘The Kids Will
Have Their Say!’” Martin says, referencing the title track
of a 1982 album by the Boston band SS Decontrol.
Martin’s mother was a nurse who designed fabrics
on the side. He recalls her taking him and his younger
brother into Manhattan with her when she went to shop
her designs to a New York City designer.
“In the late 1970s, the punk scene was thriving. I was
13 or 14, a total outsider, and I remember seeing the
original punks walking around,” Martin says.
The day after hearing James Velvet, a dinner guest of
his parents, regale the table with talk of the seething rage
in the then-new Sex Pistols album Never Mind the Bol-
locks — Martin says, “I was hanging on every word” — he
went down to the Music Box in Hamden and bought the
record.
Martin began going to shows around 1980. The D.I.Y.
ethic — doing it yourself – appealed to him. Rather than
wait for bars and clubs to warm to the aggressive new
music, musicians and fans created their own spaces.
“That was pretty powerful,” Martin says, “to take
things into your own hands and walk outside the boundar-
ies.”
Punk may have appeared scary and violent to the main-
stream culture. But for young outsiders like Martin, it was
a participatory, welcoming environment.
“There were a lot of people who opened the door and
showed you the way,” Martin says, name-checking Joe
Dias, the singer for Lost Generation, as someone who
“was a total big brother to me in that respect. It wasn’t,
‘Get out of here, kid!’ It was more like, ‘Come here, kid,
want to hang?’”
Martin’s entrée into the punk culture initially wasn’t
his booming growl of a voice but his drawing skills. His
parents encouraged creativity.
Martin says that for his mother, “Nothing was a dumb
idea as long as you weren’t going to get hurt. The rules in
her house if things were getting crazy — she was pretty
open about drinking and knew we were going to smoke
pot — she said, ‘Don’t get in cars with drunk people and
don’t come home a junkie or you’ll break my heart.’
“I always drew and always did well in art. That was my
contribution,” he says.
At the Anthrax Club in Stamford (and later Norwalk) —
a legendary hardcore punk mecca in the Nutmeg State in
the early to mid-1980s — it got around that Martin could
draw. Brothers Brian and Shaun Sheridan, who ran the
Jim Martin
club, encouraged him to create flyers; he often traded
flyer designs for free club admission when short on cash.
His cartooning style was influenced by both the Marvel
superhero graphics of Jack Kirby and his father’s stash of
underground comics.
“I used to trip out on Robert Crumb comics, Anarchy
Comics, Zap, and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers,”
Martin says. “But I also liked the fact that they were real
satirical — there was politics in those comic books.”
Another influence was the fringe leftist political flyers
he’d see papered around New Haven, reverberations of
the anti-Vietnam War and Black Panther activism of the
1960s.
“A flyer would always get me in the door and got my
name around — ‘Hey, who did this flyer?’”
Soon, Martin was doing artwork for bands’ record
sleeves as well as flyers. Perhaps inevitably — the bor-
der between performer and audience member being so
sketchy in punk — Martin recalls the friendly challenge:
“Hey, Jim, you’ve got really great taste in music — when
are you going to start a band?”
From left, Broken’s Homeland Insecurity and At the Border albums

Although he had been immersed in punk since about
1980, it wasn’t until 1988 that he fronted his first band,
Malachi Krunch.
“It took me a while. I didn’t know how to play an instru-
ment. But I had attitude,” says Martin. “I remember at my
first gig somebody asked me if I was scared. I said, ‘Nah,
this is like a keg party,’ and I was just goofing around.”
Among his influences were Wendy O. Williams, the late
singer of The Plasmatics, and John Brannon, vocalist
from Negative Approach.
“That guy could make paint peel in the room, his voice
was so scorching,” says Martin. In the pre-Internet days
of the 1980s, Martin also managed to acquaint himself
with Japanese punk bands like Lip Cream and Gauze,
adding another dimension to his vocal approach.
“I didn’t know what the hell they were saying but it was
crazy to hear that stuff,” he says.
Martin, who formed Broken with friends in 1994, is
capable of a convincing representation of burly, coiled
menace.
“You can be scary with your eyes. I try to hold the stage,
small as it is, and use it as a platform,” Martin says.
Punk privileges the fired-up amateur but that doesn’t
mean putting on a riveting show isn’t important. Martin
recalls playing a club in Canada that had a balcony all
around the stage.
“It felt like a theater to me. I felt like I was on trial and
appealing to them all the time, looking up at the balco-
nies. All I could think about was ‘Don’t cry for me, Argen-
tina.’ It was my Broadway moment because usually we
play smaller bars and dingy basements. I got off on it and
I hammed it up big time.”
While Martin is the primary lyricist, most of Broken’s
music is composed in a collaborative process. The tem-
pos get set according to the subject matter: “Is it really
fast and angry or is it more drawn back and a little more
storytelling?”
Martin brings ideas to rehearsal and the band then
“starts hammering the anvil as the guys make the music
tighter,” sorting out what part makes sense as the verse
and what lines work as a chorus.
They try to incorporate experiences they have shared
as a band — conflicts with authority figures, injustices
they’ve seen, promoters who have ripped them off, has-
sles crossing borders.
In “At the Border” from the 2007 vinyl EP of the same
name, Martin sings about a stop at the Canadian border
en route to Montreal.

The Arts Council sounds off on …
John Waters
David A. Brensilver
My introduction to Baltimore,
when I arrived there in 1988 to
begin my undergraduate stud-
ies at the Peabody Institute
at Johns Hopkins University,
included a crash course in the
films of John Waters. One of my
professors frequently invited
students to his home for home-
cooked meals, stimulating
conversation, and, oftentimes,
movies. It was during these
soirees that I and several of my
classmates developed a taste
for Waters’ work.
John Waters. Photo cour-
In his 1995 book Shock
tesy of Admire Entertain-
Value: A Tasteful Book About ment
Bad Taste (Thunder’s Mouth
Press), Waters wrote: “To me, bad taste is
what entertainment is all about.”
I hadn’t, to that point in my life, thought
much about whose work might have set
an all-but-insurmountable bar in a genre
I probably believed was reserved for acci-
dental pioneers and lucky hacks. It hadn’t by way of his one-man show This Filthy
dawned on me (to put it another way) that
lowbrow had a high priest – an apt turn
of phrase, I think, given Waters’ career-
long evisceration of all that the Catholic
Church stands for.
Pink Flamingos (1972)
was probably the first John
Waters film I experienced. A
description of the movie on
the Internet Movie Database
website (IMDb.com) reads:
“Notorious Baltimore criminal
and underground figure Divine
goes up against Connie & Ray-
mond Marble, a sleazy married
couple who make a passionate
attempt to humiliate her and
seize her tabloid-given title as
‘The Filthiest Person Alive.’”
It is worth including here
an excerpt from Divine’s bio at
IMDb, which reads: “Originally
born Harris Glen Milstead just
after the end of WWII, Balti-
more’s most outrageous resident
eventually became the interna-
tional icon of bad taste cinema,
as the always shocking and highly entertain-
ing transvestite performer, Divine.”
Pink Flamingos was, for me, the gate-
way to Polyester (1981). With those two
films alone, Waters reached the apex of
lowbrow, an accomplishment he revels in
World, which I saw recently at the Garde
Arts Center in New London.
Not long after I first became familiar
with his work, Waters’ Cry-Baby (1990)
introduced a much larger audience to the
filmmaker’s delightfully shameless sense
of humor. The film, which stars Johnny
Depp, was also the vehicle for a friend’s

Introducing
Make.Art.Work,
workshops for
visual artists
The Arts Council of Greater New
Haven, Cultural Alliance of Fairfield
County, and Greater Hartford Arts
Council are pleased to introduce
Make.Art.Work, a new workshop series
designed to give visual artists tools
to help advance their careers. Made
possible with support from the Emily
Hall Tremaine Foundation, the series
was developed with artist input col-
lected through an online survey and
focus groups. To help artists increase
business knowledge and entrepre-
neurial skills, eight workshops will be
presented between January and June
2013. The series will run concurrently
in New Haven, Fairfield County, and
Hartford. Each workshop will address
a topic such as goal-setting, market-
ing and promotion, financial manage-
ment, pricing work, and working with
galleries. Artists who register for the
entire series will have an opportunity
to participate in a peer-learning and
coaching cohort. For more informa-
tion, including a workshop schedule
and registration information, visit
www.newhavenarts.org.
Welcome,
new members
The Arts Council proudly welcomes
new members Charmaine Banach, Lori

we don’t have any drugs at all/If you are

“Message-wise, I believe in satire. And
we’ve been called on it, too, like, ‘How can
you make fun of that?’ Actually, I’m just
trying to shed light on it because it really
does suck,” explains Martin.
As an example of the band’s way of pro-
cessing social injustice, Martin recalls an
incident during a tour of Mexico.
“It was a real poverty-stricken area near
the airport, really bad. We’re laughing and
our tour minders, who were Mexicans,
said, ‘It’s not funny, you know.’ We said,
‘We’re not laughing at them. We’re laugh-
ing at the absurdity of the whole scene —
how can this happen?’
“This is our report, what we’re seeing. I
think I take a lot of that from the early hip-
hop scene. I remember being in Los Ange-
les before the L.A. riots and hearing some
of these bands and they were telling it how
it was. Then in ‘92, it kicked off and I was,
like, ‘Everything they were talking about,
it was in those songs,’” says Martin.
On Active Denial — the most recent
Broken CD, which came out in 2010 —
Martin’s guttural, declamatory rants ride
a sound field of breakneck-tempo drums
and barbed wire guitar chords. Lyrically,
he lashes out at the homogenization of
culture through globalization, suppres-
sion of dissent, and the military’s use
of depleted uranium ammunition. In
“U-232,” Martin barks: “U-232/carrying
out orders, acceptable death ratios/Killing
their troops and our own/Conquests of the
moment, indiscriminating legacy/Civilians
were just in the way.”
Martin says Broken’s music these
days is “heavier, more guitar-oriented,
with more of a bass drive and more on
the attack.” About 10 years ago, the
band tried easing up a little bit, taking
more of what Martin calls “a rock ‘n’ roll
approach.” It didn’t last.
“We decided, ‘No more of this funtime
crap! It’s back to being scary!’” recalls
Martin, now in his mid-40s.
“That’s the way to keep a young man’s
attention,” he adds, referring to the
band’s audience.
Touring with a hardcore punk band
isn’t for the weak of heart. In the eyes of
officialdom, punk is associated — not
unreasonably — with dissident, some-
times insurrectionist, countercultures.
And punk venues are often found in more
hardscrabble urban districts.
As a roadie with the group Nausea in
Germany in the early ’90s, Martin and
the band’s members had to flee, guitars
in hand, when a police tank bore down
on the stage. On tour in Mexico in 2009,
Broken experienced a country in a state
of war. Outside a taqueria, a host of police
officers held the band at machine gun
point while Broken’s Mexican minder tried
fast-talking the gun-toting cops.
“I was taught not to look Mexican police
in the eye — they take it as a challenge —
so I was scanning, (looking) from side to
side,” says Martin. “All of a sudden, ‘El
Jefe’ showed up. He had five pistols on
his chest. He looked like something out
of a movie — very military, spit polish. He
looked me over and let us go.”
After leaving a gig in Derry in Northern
Ireland while touring the UK and Ireland
shortly after 9/11, Broken’s van was
pulled over at a British Army checkpoint
outside of town.
“I pulled up and rolled down the window
and asked, ‘Can I help you?’ He locked
and loaded on me,” Martin recalls. “He
screamed in a high-pitched voice like out
of a movie, ‘I-dent-i-fi-ca-tion!’”
In his rearview mirror, Martin could see
the rest of the paratroopers surrounding
the van, faces blackened and dressed in
camouflage. They weren’t ordered out
of the van but Martin had his passport
scanned and says that since then he
has often been pulled aside on “random
checks” at airports.
Now that Martin is an elder statesman
of the punk scene, he feels the same obli-
gation to share his knowledge and cama-
raderie, as Joe Dias of Lost Generation
did with him in the 1980s. With his friend
and former band mate Matt Sachs, Martin
founded Vex Records to not only release
Broken recordings but also the music of
other bands. Martin puts up money to help
bring international punk groups to the
U.S. and then transports them to Mon-
treal for the Varning international punk
festival. On tour in Mexico, he arranged for
youngsters hanging out in the street to get
in free to Broken’s performance at an art
collective.
“Punk gave me so much,” Martin says.
“It’s part of my mission to give back.”

Reintegrate is an Arts Council of Great-
er New Haven project that celebrates and
showcases the region’s creativity in both
the arts and sciences by facilitating col-
laboration between artists and scientists,
showcasing innovative projects, and invit-
ing the public to share the arts/science
connection through events and resources.
In September 2012, we requested pro-
posals and received applications from 42
artist/scientist teams seeking funding to
pursue collaborative projects.
The Arts Council of Greater New Haven
is proud to announce the Reintegrate
teams of artists and scientists. Each of
these seven teams was chosen to receive
a $10,000 grant to fund collaborative
projects through June 2013. Teams were
selected by an independent panel of art-
ists and scientists.
For more detailed descriptions of the
projects, please visit ReintegrateNe-
wHaven.com – Teams. For questions
about The Arts Council or Reintegrate call
203-772-2788. Also visit our website for
information about the symposium “Inno-
vations: Intersection of Art & Science”
at Wesleyan University on Feb. 28 and

Tools for the Imagination Since 1947
10 January / February 2013
here was one image Zoe Keller, the Beinecke Rare Book and

T Manuscript Library’s public relations manager, kept coming

across when researching stories about the opening of the
building 50 years ago.
“My favorite compares Beinecke to an iceberg – what’s visible is
minuscule to what is really here,” she said.

Beinecke
It’s an apt description, both for the architecturally stunning struc-
ture on High Street and for the rare literary riches collected therein.
For five decades academics have used the library for everything
from undergraduate papers to works of very serious scholarship. The
institution will celebrate that milestone throughout 2013 with year-
long exhibitions and a series of monthly events.

celebrates Like most things, money started the whole thing off. The library
was born when three Yale University alumni, the Beinecke brothers,
charming old book collectors who made their money in the grocery
business, donated the resources for a new building to house the uni-
versity’s rare book collection. Yale’s rare book archives had been previ-

50 years
ously stored at the august Sterling Memorial Library. Those volumes,
some which dated from the founding of Yale University in the 18th
century, was the seed of the Beinecke’s collection, and is now housed
in a fireproof six-story glass-enclosed tower in the center of the build-
ing.
“It is a time capsule of what was the special collection in 1963,”
Keller said. “It’s a tiny fraction of what’s housed here.”

Collections hold Over time, curators charged with overseeing a particular subject
area or time period augmented the collection.
“Curators are given a lot of freedoms to follow their passions,”
the promise of discovery Keller said.
Over a million volumes are stored within the 125,000-square-foot
Steve Scarpa library, so many that space is actually an issue, and there is a backlog
in the meticulous task of cataloging materials, a job done in offices
and warrens throughout unseen areas of the building. There are five
major collections currently stored in the library: a general collection
of rare books and manuscripts, collections geared toward Western
Americana, American literature, German literature, and the Osborn
Collection of English Literary and Historical Manuscripts.
“It is a broad and deep collection,” said head of access services
Stephen Jones. “The amount of books that have resulted from
research done here is substantial.”
The collections contains some truly magisterial works, like one of
the few remaining copies of the Gutenberg Bible, printed in 1454,
on permanent display in the mezzanine of the library. The papers of
authors such as Eugene O’Neill, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes,
and Gertrude Stein are held at the Beinecke.
There are also oddities in the collection, like the Voynich Manu-
script, a 15th century text written entirely in an indecipherable lan-
guage. The lone copy of Boy Castaways, an adventure story written
by the creator of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie, can be found at the library.
There are 14th century Arthurian romances, books on alchemy, collec-
tions of playing cards. The library’s staff collects photos of writers and
pieces of ancient papyrus. Despite the modern look of the building,
the overwhelming impression one gets is of age, time, and collective
wisdom.
The distinctive look of the library is a product of its time, archi-
tecturally. The Brutalist movement, known for its blocky and linear
construction – often made from poured concrete – had, in 1963, not
yet taken hold on college campuses, so the design of the Beinecke,
channeling that movement, was a bold statement. Indeed, the Yale
University buildings surrounding the Beinecke on Wall Street are clas-
sical in tone.
The building was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of the firm Skid-
more, Owings, and Merrill.
“This was a huge departure from classic university architecture,”
Keller said. “For some people this was a real affront.”
Bunshaft, speaking to the SOM Journal, said that initially the Bei-
necke brothers wanted something akin to the Houghton Library at
Harvard – a series of small period rooms. Bunshaft had different ideas.
With the guiding principle of books as treasures, Bunshaft came up
with the idea of housing books under glass – not simply as small exhi-
bitions, but in larger rooms where humidity and temperature could be
controlled. The Beineckes agreed.
Seeking inspiration, Bunshaft came across a Renaissance-style

The Best Of …
Best Video’s
music DVDs
Hank Hoffman
For those of us at Best Video in Hamden, where I have worked since
1994, music is as much a passion as movies. The store is well known for
its non-stop soundtrack of browsing music — jazz, classical, world music,
roots, reggae, and underground rock. These days Best Video also promotes
music with live concerts in the shop’s Performance Space. Eclecticism
is the rule here, as well — we have booked a string quartet and a hip-hop
group, Brazilian music with jazz colorings and pop punk bands.
Musical taste is deeply subjective. The list of best music DVDs below was
complied by Best Video owner Hank Paper and manager Richard Brown
and me and reflects our predilections for rock, jazz, and roots music. An afi-
cionado of classical music might prefer From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in
China, Horowitz in Moscow, or Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould.
The Beatles: A Hard Day’s Night; The First U.S. Visit
A Hard Day’s Night is simply one of the most joyful pop movies ever made.
What could have been a throwaway project instead captured the phenom-
ena of Beatlemania in full bloom with personality, cheeky irreverence, and
gentle anti-authoritarianism. The First U.S. Visit, a documentary by the
Maysles Brothers, is the cinema vérité counterpart to A Hard Day’s Night, a
narration-free backstage pass to the epochal arrival of the British Invasion
on American shores. What did John Lennon really think of Murray the K,
the DJ and self-proclaimed “Fifth Beatle?”
Monterey Pop
Woodstock is better known but I prefer Monterey Pop. This D.A. Pennebak-
er documentary of the June 1967 pop music festival captures the musical
counterculture in its Edenic phase. Monterey Pop features career-making
turns by Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, and others.
The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter
If Monterey Pop depicts the counterculture in its innocence,
Gimme Shelter captures the end of illusions. From peace and love
to murder by the Hell’s Angels in two eventful years. Jagger plays
the devil and there’s hell to pay. Honorable mention: Charlie is
My Darling, a Peter Whitehead documentary of the Stones’ 1965
Irish tour, and Shine A Light, Scorsese’s 2008 concert film of the
band in its still-vibrant dotage.
The Last Waltz
Featuring an overflowing marquee of stars and directed by Martin
Scorsese, The Last Waltz documents The Band’s 1976 farewell
concert. An exemplary concert film.
Stop Making Sense
Talking Heads defined twitchy, art school
new wave, inflecting it with a dollop of
white funk. By 1984, when the Jonathan
11
Demme-directed concert movie Stop Making Sense was filmed, they had
scaled their act up to arena proportions. David Byrne needed a Big Suit to
contain his ambitions, which are well realized here.
Buena Vista Social Club
A feat of musical archaeology, Buena Vista Social Club documents the
glorious rediscovery of aged Cuban musicians whose social club milieu was
suppressed by the Revolution. Wim Wenders directed Buena Vista Social
Club, which also features American slide guitarist Ry Cooder. By recording
with musicians Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer, and Rubén González in
Havana, Cooder ran afoul of the U.S. embargo. It cost him a $25,000 fine
but won him wide plaudits
The Howlin’ Wolf Story
Legendary bluesman Chester Burnett, aka “Howlin’ Wolf,” was a giant of
a man with a voice to match. A disciple of Delta blues king Charley Patton,
Howlin’ Wolf had his greatest success recording for the Chess label in Chi-
cago in the 1950s. A notable highlight of this video is an intimate Chicago
nightclub scene culminating in an exchange between Howlin’ Wolf on
stage and bluesman Son House heckling from the audience.
High Lonesome: A Story of Bluegrass Music
A primer on one of the rootsiest of American roots musics, starting with
the innovations of mandolin player Bill Monroe. More than just a musical
history, High Lonesome situates the music in its social context, beginning
with the Great Depression.
The T.A.M.I. Show
Long unseen, The T.A.M.I. Show (standing for “Teenage Awards Music
International” and pronounced “Tammy”) was finally released on DVD in
2009. Filmed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in October, 1964, the
live concert was a thrilling snapshot of the pop world some six months after
The Beatles conquered America, with a bill encompassing British Invasion
rock, pop, surf, and hot rod music, Motown soul, James Brown funk, and
1950s rock ’n’ roll. The Rolling Stones topped the bill, having the deeply
unenviable task of following a magisterial performance by James Brown.
The Harder They Come
Reggae riddims and outlaw politics combined with a star turn by Jimmy
Cliff and one of the all-time great-
est pop music soundtracks make
The Harder They Come an under-
ground classic.

Beinecke
Continued from page 10
the material, proved unsuccessful. So, Bunshaft turned
his thoughts northward, buying Vermont marble to make
the one-and-one-quarter-inch-thick exterior, a surface
that allows a warm light to flood into the enclosed build-
ing while protecting the books from the harsh, direct
glare of the sun. Naturally occurring elements like bronze
and teak are features of the building’s design.
“The thing about the Beinecke that’s interesting is the
outside is cold and severe, and you walk inside and it’s
very warm and rich,” Bunshaft told the journal. “When the
sun pours in, it’s quite nice with the rich books. Everybody
loves to go into a great space. That’s what makes people
love to see cathedrals. That’s what makes the National Gal-
lery that (I.M.) Pei did – the great room inside doesn’t do a
thing, but it’s very dramatic and a great open space. That’s
what the public likes. However, I didn’t think of the pub-
lic. Our space isn’t that size and it’s got a big bulk in the
middle. But if they’re handsomely done, great spaces give
an emotional experience to people.”
Bunshaft, by his own admission, said the building was
never intended to be used by a great many people. How-
ever, over the years, the library has endeavored to become
more open and inviting, Keller said. Concerts and lec-
tures are routinely held in the mezzanine area of the
library and the public is invited to tour the exhibits there.
“The building was initially intended to be used by a
small, elite group of people,” Keller said. “As time has
gone on, the library has moved towards democratizing it,
and making it more open to the public. They take the mis-
sion of access very seriously.”
I’ve only had a reason to walk into the Beinecke Rare
Book and Manuscript Library three times, and they’ve
all been in the past three months: once in the summer,
when a librarian friend of mine took me to see a William
Shakespeare exhibit, and twice in November as I worked
on this story.
I felt that to understand the Beinecke’s mission, I
had to do a bit of research myself. So, on my third visit,
I signed up on a computer, and went to the circulation
desk to pick up what I was looking for. One can’t browse
stacks the way you would in an ordinary library – you have
to know what you want and request it.
I took a plain gray, heavy cardboard box into the read-
ing room and sat at a table. I was a touch on the nervous
side handling my request, although there was no reason
to be. The room was below ground, brightly lit and silent,
a pair of bespectacled graduate students poring over
materials nearby. I opened the box, took out a folder and
opened it. On a perfectly kept piece of more-than six-
decades-old green notebook paper were written – with a
fountain pen and in a spidery hand – two simple phrases:
“No curtain. No scenery.”
It was the original, handwritten script for the classic
American play Our Town, found amid Thornton Wilder’s
papers.
It is a play I love for myriad reasons, not the least of
which is because in many ways the work is fundamentally
about time and memory. I turned the pages carefully.
Wilder was a clean writer – there are edits to the text, but
they are not sloppy. Many pages of this first draft would
remain in the finished script verbatim. But there are fas-
cinating byways that Wilder explored – character names
changed, the biggest example being the name of the
play’s heroine. For a few lines, she was christened Amy,
before she quickly became Emily. The ubiquitous Stage
Manager played all of the smaller roles, including George
Gibbs’ sister (who was a boy in the draft) and Simon
Stimson, the alcoholic choirmaster.
I had about 20 minutes with the script, not enough
time to go through it all. For a moment, being a theater
person, Wilder’s pages took my breath away. It made me
want to go further, to pore over every word looking for
clues and new insights.
I’d like to think discoveries begin this way – that a
scholar or a graduate student opens a box or a book, a
rarity, something precious and old, and the process of
creation begins anew. They repurpose their initial ideas
into new thoughts, new ideas, and thus our collective
body of knowledge gets added to, in however small a way.
It’s a romantic notion, yes, and the reality is much more
prosaic, but I hope that’s the way it goes – that what the
Beinecke has really held for the past five decades is the
wonder of what has come before, and the possibility of
what could be.

stunning visual archive of its holdings, visit library.yale.
