As autobiography, Brainard's method was brilliantly simple: to set down specific memories as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each prefaced by the refrain \"I remember\" \"I remember when I thought that if you did anything bad, policemen would put you in jail.\" Brainard's enduring gem of a book has been issued in various forms over the past thirty years. In 1970, Angel Hair books published the first edition of \u003ci\u003eI Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, which quickly sold out; he wrote two subsequent volumes for Angel Hair, \u003ci\u003eMore I Remember\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eMore I Remember More\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), both of which proved as popular as the original. In 1973, the Museum of Modern Art in New York published Brainard's \u003ci\u003eI Remember Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e, a new text for which he also contributed a cover design and four drawings. Excerpts from the Angel Hair editions appeared in \u003ci\u003eInterview\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGay Sunshine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe World\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Herald\u003c\/i\u003e. Then in 1975, Full Court Press issued a revised version collecting all three of the Angel Hair volumes and added new material, using the original title \u003ci\u003eI Remember\u003c\/i\u003e. This complete edition is prefaced by poet and translator Ron Padgett.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10406546\"\u003eJoe Brainard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Granary Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60h x 4.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781887123488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1887123482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO007000\"\u003eLiterary Figures\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Granary Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832969330827,"sku":"9781887123488","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_f8d7215d-d9d0-4f85-9e29-ca3a325fd6f2.jpg?v=1755628304","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/joe-brainard-i-remember-9781887123488","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
