Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Poet-essayist Kenneth Rexroth (1905-1982) was a high-school dropout, disillusioned ex-Communist, pacifist, anarchist, rock-climber, critic and translator, mentor, Catholic-Buddhist spiritualist and a prominent figure of San Francisco's Beat scene. He is regarded as a central figure of the San Francisco Renaissance and is among the first American poets to explore traditional Japanese forms such as the haiku. James Laughlin (1914-1997) founded New Directions in 1936 while still a student at Harvard. He wrote and compiled more than a dozen books of poetry as well as stories and essays; seven volumes of his correspondence with his authors are available from W.W. Norton.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The letters in this volume capture the many moods of Kenneth Rexroth. They also provide a running commentary on writers outside Rexroth's San Francisco orbit, such notables as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas D. H. Lawrence, and Herbert Read.
