About this item
by Bruce Boyd (Author), Bill Mohr (Editor)
Bruce Boyd's first book is the most startling posthumous debut of any poet of the past century. Born in the late 1920s in San Francisco, and inspired by Jack Spicer to join the Berkeley Renaissance, Bruce Boyd pivoted to align himself with the Venice West scene in Los Angeles in the mid-1950s, only to return to Berkeley and San Francisco in the late '50s, and then loop back to Venice in the early 1960s. As a friend of Gary Snyder and Robin Blaser, Boyd was the quintessential maverick poet on the West Coast. He is also the only contributor to Donald Allen's anthology The New American Poetry never to have had a collection of his writing - not even a chapbook - published. Toward Morning is Bruce Boyd's first book of poems.
