- catalog abstract ""Robert Creeley, one of the most revered voices of contemporary American poetry, has attained an almost legendary status, based on his role in such avant-garde movements as Black Mountain, Tish, and the Beats. Ekbert Faas focuses on the first 50 years of Creeley's life - the years of rebellion, restless travel, tumultuous liaisons, anger, and violence that gave his writing a raw candor. Along the way he developed a flair for noticing the talent of others, and as a small press publisher and editor he promoted the likes of Layton, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Olson, and Burroughs. Their stars rose while he scraped by, until finally, suddenly, fame arrived. His poetry collection For Love and novel The Island earned him critical acclaim that has outlasted that of his contemporaries. Since then his poetry has become increasingly autobiographical and nostalgic, and now he contemplates the commonplace for inspiration."--Jacket.".
