Here is one poet who does not have to conceal lack of talent and shallow feeling behind a veil of complicated obscurity. Patchen really communicates... to the heart. His growing international reputation attests to a simple fact: there is always an audience for that rare man who writes honestly and beautifully of the great and little things which all of us experience every day." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Kenneth Patchen (December 13, 1911 - January 8, 1972) was an American poet and novelist. Though he denied any direct connection, Patchen's work and ideas regarding the role of artists paralleled those of the Dadaists, the Beats, and Surrealists. Patchen's ambitious body of work also foreshadowed literary art-forms ranging from reading poetry to jazz accompaniment to his late experiments with visual poetry (which he called his "picture poems")."
