Steve left us too soon. Rexroth was always very charming altho I was a decade after Six Gallery down on the scene - I met Robert Duncan who was quite a character and I dig the Delmore Schwartz reference who many consider to be an influencer of first person confessional poetry - the Reed Collegepoets always fascinated me cos they were in many ways so North by Northwest a cosy coven all their own
