“Almost Home,” by Adrian Matejka

Poetry by Adrian Matejka: “Bob Kaufman loved San Francisco’s / gentle malaise, long views of bay / & insistent bridge, the ocean right after.”

The New Yorker

Bob Kaufman - "Unhistorical Events"

"APOLLINAIRE
NEVER MET CINDER BOTTOM BLUE, /
FAT SAXOPHONE PLAYER WHO LAUGHED /
WHILE PLAYING AND HAD STEEL TEETH"
