He worked as a psychologist, a social worker, and as director of an organization who took care of Jewish children. A British student got interested in his work and Rakosi started writing again after many years. He published "The Old Poet's Tale" in 1999, being 96. He died in 2003. I have started translating some of his poems. I truly recommend his poetry. Rakosi is one of the greatest American poets, he must be read widely.

Carl Rakosi, one of the Objectivist poets, that label which avoided being an "-ism". He was a great poet. He is a great poet. Thanks for posting.
