Bob Kaufman's life as a poet is unique to American literature. He kept no diary or journal, published no literary essays, wrote no reviews, and maintained no correspondences... Yet various schools of American poetry have sung his praises. Recognized early on as a major figure in the Beat Generation of writers and poets, Kaufman is also know as one of America's true surrealist poets, a premier jazz poet, and a major poet of the black consciousness movement.
