Rattray not only excavated this tradition, he embodied and lived it. He studied at Harvard and the Sorbonne but remained a poet, outside the academy. His stories "Van" and "The Angel" chronicle his travels in southern Mexico with his friend, the poet Van Buskirk, and his adventures after graduating from Dartmouth in the mid-1950s. Eclipsed by the more mediagenic Beat writers during his lifetime, Rattray has become a powerful influence on contemporary artists and writers.Poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismPoetryHistory and criticism.808.1Rattray David1701093Kraus ChrisMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816827603321How I became one of the invisible4084597UNINA
