Kenneth Rexroth, one of the greats, was born on this day in 1905…
“Cross-country hitchhiker, spiritual seeker in monasteries, Parisian ex-pat, Wobbly supporter, translator of Asian poetry, Greenwich Village bohemian, forest ranger in the Pacific Northwest, sexual adventurer: if you mashed up the life experiences of Kerouac, Brother Antonious, Ginsberg, and Gary Snyder you’d get something that looked like Kenneth Rexroth’s (1905-82) bio. He just did it all fifteen years earlier.” David Smay
