 | | Among Foley’s other publications are: Inciting Big Joy (1993), a monograph on the films and poetry of James Broughton, and “O Her Blackness Sparkles!” (1995), an essay on the Batman Art Gallery, a center of Beat art which flourished in San Francisco from 1960 to 1965. |
 | | Jack Foley’s film criticism has appeared in Bright Lights and Journal of Popular Film; his art criticism in Artweek, Poetry Flash and the East Bay Express. |
 | | At one point, Foley quotes the 17th century poet John Milton—“Books are not absolutely dead things but do contain a potency of life in them”—and, at another point, he repudiates the dead poet: “In our time, books have become, precisely, dead things,” insists Foley. |
