Selected Poems
The late Kenneth Patchen was unique among contemporary poets for his direct and passionate concern with the most essential elements in the tragic, comic, blundering and at rare moments glorious world around us. He wrote about the things we can feel; with our whole being--the senselessness of war, the need for love among men on earth, the presence of God in man, the love for a beloved woman, social injustice and the continual resurgence of the beautiful in life.

Yummy-licious poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I purchased this book because it had one of my favorite poems in it: "What There Is." I did not know that Patchen was such a prolific poet, however, and the books contains many poems new to me. This is fairly comprehensive, containing far more than the first collection of his which I bought in the 1970s.
