Awash with Roses: Collected Love Poems of Kenneth Patchen
As the editor of his book, together with my daughter, Laura Smith, and the author of the biography included here, I owe a great deal to Miriam Patchen for lengthy interviews, and to the letters and manuscripts of Kenneth Patchen open to my by his friend Joel Climenhagga, and the Patchen Special Collection at the University of California at Santa Cruz. The love story of Kenneth and Miriam Patchen is one we should all know; his poems resonate today.
