Description

Robert Creeley focuses on the first forty years of the poet's life B years of rebellion, restless travel, tumultuous liaisons, and anger and violence that gave his writing an idiosyncratic new voice of razor-sharp precision and vehemence. With his unfailing flair for recognizing talent, as a small press publisher and editor he promoted the likes of Layton, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Olson, and Burroughs. Their stars rose while he scraped by, until his poetry collection For Love and a novel, The Island, earned him fame and a critical acclaim largely denied the Beats. Since then his poetry has become increasingly autobiographical and nostalgic, dwelling on the deliberately commonplace, on decrepitude, and finally on death.
