Inhaltsangabe

Included in this vast correspondence with 20th century artist and writers and publishers are brief bios and photos.

"Patchen was "a rebel all down the line." Cummings, Miller, Rexroth and others hailed this "poet of anger and light" as the quintessential countercultural hero. Frost illuminates Patchen marching to the beat of his passionate heart, pursuing his vocation by fiercely protecting his integrity and exploring innovative directions despite the vicissitudes of illness, chronic pain, and poverty, and despite the Establishment critics? wall of silence. These fascinating and poignant letters map out rich chapters of cultural history and reveal the difficult dance between art and practicalities, and the magnanimous spirit of Laughlin and others who rallied for Patchen." ?Rachelle Lerner, biographer of forthcoming "A Rage to Order: Kenneth Rexroth."

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This is the inspiring story of a supreme artist absolutely committed to his dream. Kenneth Patchen?s Painted Books, novels, prophecies and poems are a testament to life and hope. However, this is also a tale of the adversity he faced: monetary, critical neglect, and a physical pain that kept him bedridden for much of his life. Often these letters almost shout with it. . . .Through reading these letters, the path of Kenneth Patchen?s life can be drawn following his own words, in a philosophy that he established early on, ?It?s always because we love that we are rebellious.?

-From the Introduction by Allen Frost
