2020 AMERICAN BOOK AWARD WINNERquot The Collected Poems of Bob Kaufman is the
most comprehensive selection of his verse to date, a volume that contains a lot of previously
uncollected work. 30 this book makes a case for him as a perceptive and eccentric American
original, a man who seems to have fallen out of the sky like a meteor.quot 12 The New York
Timesquot The body of work is small but voluminous in intensity, spirit and soul, with a lineage that
runs from Charles Baudelaire to Charles Mingus. Kaufman12 with his commitment to the art, his
surreal eye on the urban experience and beyond it, and his jazz timing12 brings San Francisco to
life.quot 12 an Francisco Chroniclequot Twentieth-century American poetry cannot be fully
comprehended without Bob Kaufman. City Lights and the editors do a grand service to literature
by publishing Kaufman's poetry in one collection. 30 This is a necessary gift for poets and poetry
readers.quot 12 Booklist20 He was an original voice. No one else talked like him. No one else
wrote poetry like him.21 12 Lawrence FerlinghettiBob Kaufman (192511 1986) was one of the
most important12 and most original12 poets of the twentieth century. He is among the
inaugurators of what today is characterized as the Afro-Surreal, uniting the surrealist practice of
automatic writing with the jazz concept of spontaneous composition. He seldom wrote his poems
down and often discarded those he did, leaving them to be rescued by others. He was also a
legendary figure of the Beat Generation, known as much for hopping on tables to declaim his
poetry as for maintaining a monastic silence for months or even years at a time.Kaufman
produced just three broadsides and three books in his lifetime. In 1967, Golden Sardine was
published by City Lights in its famed Pocket Poets Series, and became an instant cult classic.
Collected Poems is a landmark poetic achievement, bringing together all of Kaufman17 known
surviving poems, including an extensive section of previously uncollected work, in a long overdue
return to City Lights Books.Praise for Collected Poems of Bob Kaufman:quot Bob Kaufman
volcanically en-veined the Beats as a mirage enveloped Surrealist not as a formal poet, but one,
like Rimbaud, who embodied butane. Following the scent of his butane on one anonymous North
Beach afternoon led Philip Lamantia to audibly utter to me that Bob Kaufman as per incandescent
singularity is 'our poet.'quot 12 Will Alexander, author of Compression amp Purityquot Bob
Kaufman is one of our most vulnerable, mysterious, and beautiful poets, a nomadic maudit,
surrealist saint of the streets, votary of silence, the consummate Outrider with trickster imagination
and visionary power.21 12 Anne Waldman, author of Trickster Feminismquot Uplifting the voice of
this under-sung literary master to future17 light is the mission of the Collected Poems of Bob
Kaufman. This poet17 poet on the cliff edge of no ledge is still continuing to foster new
surrealizations. Read this bebopian wordsmith, his pen turned saxophone and ink notes that are
black tears.quot 12 Kamau Da#225 ood, author of The Language of Saxophonesquot To call
these poems 'surreal' seems, now, to muffle Kaufman17 prophetic genius. He saw us, our images
in pools of blood, milk, and saxophone spittle. Maybe it was ever our shivering made the ripples
that distorted the reflections.quot 12 Douglas Kearney, author of Buck Studiesquot Collected
Poems of Bob Kaufman should finally liberate the kaleidoscopic surrealism of this San Franciscan,
and in many respects, secular Franciscan, poet from the shadows of Allen Ginsberg and the other
Beats. 30 Collected Poems is a memoriam of unmitigated joy and abysmal despair.quot 12 Tyrone

Williams, author of As iZ
