Endpapers for the first printing of The Psychedelic Experience (Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert, 1964), designed by Bruce Conner.
On July 28, Kevin Hatch delivered the paper “‘Where madness lies’: Bruce Conner, Timothy Leary, and The Psychedelic Experience” at the Summer of Love Conference 2017. The conference was held in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love in San Francisco. Northwestern University’s Center for Civic Engagement and the California Historical Society hosted the three-day, interdisciplinary academic conference to celebrate and reexamine the Summer of Love and its associated events, contexts, and implications. The conference took place at Northwestern University’s San Francisco campus.
