The show pays tribute to a prolific artist whose work gained widespread attention and whose readings of poetry accompanied with jazz were a phenomenon in the 1950s. Patchen writings, published from the 1930s through 1972, \u00cahave been labeled as Romantic, Proletarian, Socialist, Surrealist, Dadaist, and Beat, but ultimately defy easy categorization. \u00ca Infuriating to critics and largely ignored by academics, Patchen nevertheless has been lauded as \u00d2the best poet American literary expressionism can show\u00d3 by Poet Laureate James Dickey and as \u00d2all that a poet should represent\u00d3 by novelist and painter Henry Miller. His boosters, including James Laughlin, Kenneth Rexroth, and E.E. Cummings, \u00ca\u00d2would constitute a Who\u00d5s Who in 20th century American letters,\u00d3 writes exhibit curator Richard Peek, director of Rare Books and Special Collections at the University of Rochester. \u00ca Patchen\u00d5s was an unconventional life, one committed to art, social justice, pacifism, and to his wife and muse Miriam, to whom he dedicated all of his books and love poems. But it was also marred by a back injury at age 26, complications of which eventually left him bed-ridden and poverty-stricken during the last dozen years of his life.
