Lisa Jarnot takes us from Duncan's birth in Oakland, California, through his childhood in an eccentrically Theosophist household, to his life in San Francisco as an openly gay man who became an inspirational figure for the many poets and painters who gathered around him. Weaving together "ations from Duncan's notebooks and interviews with those who knew him, Jarnot vividly describes his life on the West Coast and in New York City and his encounters with luminaries such as Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, Paul Goodman, Michael McClure, H.D., William Carlos Williams, Denise Levertov, Robert Creeley, and Charles Olson. 606 $aGay men$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aPoets, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aArt and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSan Francisco (Calif.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 610 $a20th century america. 610 $a20th century lgbt community. 610 $a20th century literature. 610 $a20th century poets. 610 $aamerican poetry. 610 $aamerican poets. 610 $abooks for english majors. 610 $acharles olson. 610 $acoming of age. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ainspirational biography. 610 $ainspirational poets. 610 $ajack spicer. 610 $algbt figures. 610 $algbt inspiration. 610 $algbt poets. 610 $alife lessons. 610 $amodernism literary criticism. 610 $apoet biography. 610 $apoetry and poets. 610 $apost wwii america. 610 $apostwar literature. 610 $apostwar poetry. 610 $arobert creeley. 610 $arobin blaser. 610 $asan francisco poets. 610 $asan francisco renaissance. 615 0$aGay men 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aPoets, American 615 0$aArt and literature$xHistory 676 $a811/.54 676 $aB 700 $aJarnot$b Lisa$f1967-$01559023 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790302603321 996 $aRobert Duncan, the Ambassador from Venus$93823908 997 $aUNINA
