Kenneth Patchen


This week, the poet on poets.org's featured poet page is Kenneth Patchen, born in Niles OH. It's good to see some of the beat-era Northeast Ohio poets remembered-- Patchen has always been one of my favorites, partly because of the way he integrated poetry and art in his witty and whimsical picture-poems series.

    Patchen does not get the respect he is due.

    He read some poems with a jazz combo - is it out on CD?

    Great writer, thank you for this.

    Patchen is a great artist. I don't agree with his eternity.
