About the Author
Kenneth Patchen (1911-1972) was a poet, playwright, fiction and fable
writer, artist, and performer of poetry-jazz, working in the tradition
of engaged writing which he helped to forge in America. Producing
almost a book a year for 36 years, his work stands as an exposed girder
in the structure of American character and art. His friendships with
such writers as Amos Wilder, Lewis Mumford, James Laughlin, Henry
Miller, Kenneth Rexroth, Dylan Thomas, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and
others place him at the center of dissident writing in America. Rising
from his native grounds in working-class Ohio, he became a leading
figure among Leftist thinkers and artists in Greenwich Village's 1930s
and 40s. In the 1950s he moved to the West Coast where he created
artistic blends of poetry and art, and poetry and jazz. Finally crippled
with back pain during the last decade of his life, he created the
wonderful picture-poems. For four decades, on East and West Coast,
by the force of his own will and his native genius, Patchen molded a
life and art as one. With the loving support of his wife Miriam he
endured the pain and travail of years of struggle to recast an art based
on truth and striking beauty. His is one of the great stories of American
literature.
