   Extractions: Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards Kenneth Rexroth was born on December 22, 1905 in South Bend, Indiana. He was integral to the emergence of the Beat poets, but did not consider himself a member of this younger group himself. Rexroth had already led his own earlier cultural movement, a much publicized "poetry renaissance" in San Francisco , which helped to promote the idea of the Northern California city as a culturally 'happening' place. By the time Allen Ginsberg arrived at Rexroth's doorstep in 1953 with a letter of introduction from William Carlos Williams , the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance was already an established idea. Among the diverse poets who gravitated to this scene were several younger and fresher upstarts, like Gary Snyder Michael McClure and Philip Whalen . In October 1955 Rexroth lent his name and reputation to a loose poetry reading featuring this younger crowd. The reading at the Six Gallery caused a literary sensation and introduced the idea of the Beat Generation to the world. According to some biographical material, Rexroth later grew slightly irritated as the Beats began to reach immense fame, often offending his sensitive poetic ideals with their crazy hijinks. But this is typical old-guard vs. new-guard stuff. Rexroth was an important poet in his own scene, and deserves our eternal appreciation for having invented the idea of San Francisco as a center of literary innovation.

The existence of the creature, in so far as it exists, is the existence of God, and the creature’s experience of God is therefore in the final analysis equally unpredicable. Neither can even be described; both can only be indicated. We can only point at reality, our own or God’s. All night I lay awake beside you,

   Extractions: KENNETH REXROTH SUBVERSIVE ASPECTS OF POPULAR SONGS The interesting thing about this kind of poetry is that although it is the voice of a new culture that promises soon to overtake and surpass the old, it is itself not new. Its roots go back in our civilization to the Middle Ages. The difference today is that it is no longer the voice of an outcast minority but of "everybody under thirty" from Tokyo to Rome, from Baghdad to Trinidad to Nome. The tradition is uninterrupted, still there in the same place since the day there first were students in Paris. Later in the Middle Ages, in French, Villon is the very archetype, the poet laureate of 500 years of the counterculture. So clearly does he speak for a way of life that his name has become a common noun and adjective in European languages. At the very beginning of the Middle Ages in Provence there grew up a vast literature of both written and sung poetry that reflected the life of a society more permissive than any to be seen in Europe until modern times. The songs of the troubadours have connections with the poetry of sexual mysticism which spread from India to Persia and across Islam to Muslim Spain. Their influence spread then to Germany, England, even to Constantinople. Whether it was part of the Albigensian heresy or not, the entire culture of Provence, the most civilized part of Europe, was obliterated in the Albigensian Crusade, the bloodiest war of extermination in the West until the invention of gunpowder. Today the influence of the troubadours on a few modern poet singers is apparent, but in the intervening centuries the connection was snapped. The same sexual mysticism can be found in the songs of Leonard Cohen or Anne Sylvestre, both of them strongly influenced by troubadour songs.

    Extractions: A little short of two years ago, jazz poetry was a possibility, a hope and the memory of a few experiments. Today it runs the danger of becoming a fad. The life of fads is most often intense, empty and short. I feel, on the contrary, jazz poetry has a permanent value or I would not have undertaken it. When it is successful there is nothing freakish or faddish about it nor, as a matter of fact, is there anything especially new. At the roots of jazz and Negro folk son, especially in the Southwest, is the "talking blues." It is not much heard today, but if you flatten out the melodic line, already very simple, in Big Bill Broonzy or Leadbelly, you have an approximation of it, and some of their records are really more talked than sung. This is poetry recited to a simple blue guitar accompaniment. Long before this, in the mid-nineteenth century, the French poet Charles Cros was reciting, not singing, his poems to the music of a bal musette band. Some of his things are still in the repertory of living

    Extractions: Issue #25, Spring 1997, p 16-17 "See Life steadily, see it whole," Kenneth Rexroth was fond of stating. In pursuing this ideal, he lived a life of radical religion, politics, and art in which nature was a central and centering force. Born in 1905 in the midwest, as a teenager he dropped out of school and hopped a freight train to the West Coast in order to cultivate the art of being a "perceiving organism and moral agent." Settling in San Francisco, he camped often in the Sierras, developing a mystical vision of nature and love that is reflected in his poetry, his many essays, and a play in verse. Part of the depth of Rexroth's vision arises from his insistence on turning the contemplative gaze on the depravations of society as well as the beauty of nature. Darkness enriches his vision of light, and illumination is found in a night-bound world. In Time Is the Mercy of Eternity, he stands at the edge of a Sierra cliff looking at the San Joaquin Valley below: Far away the writhing city Burns in a fire of transcendence And commodities. The bowels
