An extraordinary beautiful, brilliant human being and poet. I think of him as being a well-educated man who didn't attend college----self-educated to a high degree. These poems make me want more of them. Once long ago (June 1951) my first husband and I spent an evening with him in his apartment in S.F. For that I feel I've had a privileged life.
He sounds like he was a good person to know, people who spend a lot of their time promoting others tend to be. Another fine inclusion to your series

@Idlinfarm Indeed. That must have been quite a night, Ida. Rexroth must have been fascinating company.

@Idlinfarm Not only didn't attend college, but didn't even graduate from high school - he was thrown out.
