Is the most recent book-length biography of Kenneth Rexroth really from 1991?

Linda Hamalian - A Life of Kenneth Rexroth

That seems almost criminal, wow!

As the lava flow that burned here once;
And stopped here; and said, ‘This far
And no further.’ And spoke thereafter
In the simple diction of stone.

-- Excerpt from Kenneth Rexroth, "Lyell’s Hypothesis Again"

I feel a #KennethRexroth bender coming on.

I have a fresh newsletter out today.

After updates, I spend a little time gushing about @jennitaur's now not-so-new book, "How to Do Nothing," before diving into selections from Kenneth Rexroth that may or may not illustrate something about doing nothing.

I hope this one hits like a nice warm mug of mulled wine. Please enjoy.

I want a brighter word than bright

I almost wish we were butterflies
and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you
I could fill with more delight
than fifty common years
could ever contain.

I cannot forget
The perfumed dusk inside the
Tent of my black hair,
As we awoke to make love
After a long night of love.

Give me your mouth.
Your grace is as beautiful as sleep.
You move against me like a wave
That moves in sleep.
Your body spreads across my brain
Like a bird filled summer;
Not like a body, not like a separate thing.
But like a nimbus that hovers
Over every other thing in all the world
