Jack Hirschman Poet Translator on Tea With Tosh




Jack Hirschman is a poet and translator.   A dear friend of the family, which means Wallace Berman.  I first met Jack as a child in Los Angeles,  but eventually, he moved to San Francisco, very close to the social world of that city, which includes the ultimate Beat Culture bookstore, City Lights.  Jack is a social activist as well as an artist. Probably one of the smartest individual I have ever met.  -Tosh Berman.  Videotaped in 1987.

"Tea With Tosh" was a cable access TV program that was produced and done in 1986 through 1987. I did exactly 20 shows. My chit-chat guests were everyone from Philip Glass to Phranc to Peter Case to George Herms to Russ Tamblyn to Bruce Conner to Jack Hirschman to my soon to be wife Lun*na Menoh. I imagine myself as a combination of Dick Cavett and William F. Buckley. With no money, but we all had a vision (of sorts) to define our culture as we lived it. Now, I digitalized the entire series and will slowly (and surely) make it available to the public. What we call "Tea With Tosh."

WALLACE BERMAN – IN CONVERSATION…
A previously lost recording published for the first time, featuring Wallace Berman
discussing his work, art and literature with Shirley Berman, Hal Glicksman,
Jack and Ruth Hirschman.

Recorded by Hal Glicksman at the Berman family home, Topanga Canyon, 1968.
Mastered from the original tape recording, with a text by Tosh Berman.
“When I hear Wallace on this tape, I still can’t recall his voice or sound. Some years ago, Hal Glicksman played this tape to me and my mom when we were planning the retrospective right after Wallace died.  What shocked me is that he was playing it in the background at a meeting and I didn’t have the foggiest idea it was my dad on that tape. I spent the first 21 years of my life with Wallace, and when he died, his voice disappeared as well.”
– Tosh Berman
