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. 606 $aPoetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPoetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a808.1 700 $aRattray$b David$01701093 702 $aKraus$b Chris 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816827603321 996 $aHow I became one of the invisible$94084597 997 $aUNINA
