Literary Nonficton. Poetry History & Criticism. Letters. Edited
by Allen Frost, SELECTED CORRESPONDENCE includes photographs and
brief biographies of Patchen's correspondents. They include Harvey
Breit, Alex Comfort, E.E. Cummings, Robert Duncan, James T.
Farrell, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, James Laughlin, James Boyer May,
Alexander Meiklejohn, Henry Miller, Henry Moe, Harriet Monroe,
Lewis Mumford, Alan Neil, Miriam Patchen, Henry Rago, Kenneth
Rexroth, Harry Roskolenko, Isabel Smith-Stein, Wallace Stevens,
Dylan Thomas, Leon Trotsky, Louis Untermeyer, Amos Wilder, Thomas
Wolfe, and Jasper Wood."When reading Kenneth Patchen, a face stares
back out of the text. His very human gaze scrutinizes us and our
world with such intensity because he is looking for all the beauty
despite such apparent ugliness. The SELECTED CORRESPONDENCE reveals
the hardships and pain Patchen endured in this search, bolstered by
his muse Miriam. Reading Patchen is a profound literary experience,
an absolute delighting in humanity's possibilities yet also a
despondence, sometimes even anger, over our shortcomings. These
themes play themselves out here in Patchen's impassioned letters to
such friends and colleagues as Henry Miller, E.E. Cummings, Wallace
Stevens, et. al. To read this correspondence is to be astonished by
Patchen's insatiable quest for all that is good in life, one that
led him from proletarianism to concretism to jazz to painted poems.
Embrace hope, all ye who enter here."--Eckhard Gerdes
