Robert Creeley...American PoetPosted on October 20, 2016
I rented a studio space from Bob and Pen Creeley for a number of years. During that time, we spent many hours talking about art, collaborative work, some of my favorite writers and the neighborhood. We never talked about poetry but it was then that I began to read his work. "I Know a Man" (quoted below) soon became a favorite--so direct in cadence, so American in its pursuit of forward motion...and so universal in its concluding cautionary note.
As I sd to my
friend, because I am
always talking, -- John, I
sd, which was not his
name, the darkness sur-
rounds us, what
can we do against
it, or else, shall we &
why not, buy a goddamn big car,
drive, he sd, for
christ's sake, look
out where yr going.--Robert Creeley

The man and the machines...It is a dreary Monday afternoon and Clinton is in constant motion as he deftly prepares another specialty coffee. Inside Public Espresso's cafe at the Hotel Lafayette, the cold, dank afternoon disappears. Exquisite coffee, expert barrista, gleaming equipment--you know you are in good hands here.
