The Selected Poems of Kenneth Patchen

A selection of well-known and rare poems from the great experimental poet. From the appearance in 1936 of Kenneth Patchen’s first book, the voice of this great poet has been protesting war and social injustice, satirizing the demeaning and barbarous inanities of our culture―entrancing us with an inexhaustible flow of humor and fantasy. With directness and simplicity, he has restored the exaltation of romantic love to its ancient bardic place beside an awareness of God’s living presence among all men. For this collection, assembled in his fifty-fourth year, Kenneth Patchen has drawn from the contents of twelve of his books. It provides the reader in many cases with the texts of poems no longer available even in rare editions.

This charming book is comprised of excerpts from the guest book at Marvin and Aletha Patchen's tiny cabin in the Cataviña desert area of central Baja California. Visited by Baja old-timers and newcomers alike, the remote cabin has been the site of many a weary traveler’s respite and more than a few serendipitous meetings over the years. These unvarnished and eclectic entries take readers on a vicarious tour of the diverse Baja California peninsula. Some guests relate their experiences hiking, bicycling, kayaking, and whale watching; others write of their wonder at seeing the nearby cave paintings and petroglyphs or spotting the unusual birds and plants of this largely undeveloped region. The authors have stitched this patchwork quilt of adventure together with selected reminiscences of the friends and friends-of-friends who have come to visit. The recurring theme of both hosts and guests is of communing with this spectacular and inspiring land of desert, mountains, and sea.

In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title!

A fascinating human and cultural history of the Santa Cruz Mountains from 1850 to the middle of the 20th century. The lives of the early settlers and their descendants; a narrow-gauge railroad from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz in existence from 1880 to 1940; mining, logging, and grizzly bears. Tales of Patchen, Burrell, Austrian Gulch and Germantown, White Wash Alley, Lexington, Alma, Glenwood, New Almaden, and more.

The wonderful picture-poems of Kenneth Patchen, long out of print, are being brought back into one generous volume―cryptic creatures quipping quirky quotes and all. The singular work of Kenneth Patchen has influenced poets, artists and political activists for decades. New Directions is proud to launch a Patchen revival beginning with omnibus editions of his unique compositions. Kenneth Patchen's last words to New Directions founder James Laughlin were "When you find out which came first, the chicken or the egg, you write and tell me." Answering his own question comes Patchen's "picture-poem." The Walking-Away World reissues three of his picture-poem classics: Wonderings, But Even So, and Hallelujah Anyway. Inspired by the "illuminated printing" of William Blake, Patchen worked in a spirited fervency with watercolor, casein, inks, and other media to create absurdly compelling works. His entire process was a simultaneous fusion of painting and poetry: neither the poem nor the painting preceded one another. Each picture-poem is inhabited by strange beings uttering everything from poignant poetic adages to cheeky satire. One confides, "I have a funny feeling / that some very peculiar-looking creatures out there are watching us," which sums up the suspicious joys of The Walking-Away World.

234pp. First edition. Writers include Langston Hughes, W. C. Williams, Patchen, James T. Farrell. Minute wears on DJ, otherwise Near Fine.

A chronicle of violent fury and compassion, written when Surrealism was still vigorous and doing battle with psychotic "reality," The Journal of Albion Moonlight is the American monument to engagement. Kenneth Patchen sets off on an allegorical journey of his own in which the far boundaries of love and murder, madness and sex are sensually explored. His is the tale of a disordered pilgrimage to H. Roivas (Heavenly Savior) in which the deranged responses of individuals point up the outer madness from which they derive in a more imaginative way that social protest generally allows. Like Camus, Kenneth Patchen is anti-cool, anti-hip, anti-beat.
