Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka and Stan Brakhage; nine years later he bought (in an auction) the Courthouse building at 32-24 2nd Avenue, where Anthology remains today. This period also saw his first return to Lithuania, where he saw his mother and family after 27 years, and some of his best-known essayistic films: \u003ci\u003eWalden\u003c\/i\u003e (1969), \u003ci\u003eReminiscences from Lithuania\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eLost Lost Lost\u003c\/i\u003e (1976).\u003cbr\u003eThe 1970s was a time of loss and growth for Mekas: George Maciunas, Fluxus guru and his closest Lithuanian American friend, died in 1978, and Mekas began a family. The following years saw numerous exhibitions across the US and Europe, as well as publications such as \u003ci\u003eI Had Nowhere to Go\u003c\/i\u003e, film projects and travels. The final chapter of the book comprises personal letters to Mekas' closest friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3412063\"\u003eJonas Mekas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 6.38w x 1.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959052900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3959052901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO015000\"\u003eDiaries \u0026amp; Journals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART057000\"\u003eFilm \u0026amp; Video\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spector Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529091576045,"sku":"9783959052900","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1e3bcb12-19df-4951-9738-5141d94c84b5.jpg?v=1701396083","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/i-seem-to-live-the-new-york-diaries-1969-2011-volume-2-9783959052900","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
