The Journal of Albion Moonlight by Kenneth Patchen

The Journal of Albion Moonlight by Kenneth Patchen

Like Camus, Kenneth Patchen is anti-cool, anti-hip, anti-beat.

"More than seventy years on from its first publication, The Journal of Albion Moonlight remains as revolutionary and as pertinent as ever" -- Ian Seed - PN Review
"This novel is quite possibly the book that made the biggest impression on me, ever." -- Michael Berger - The Rumpus
"The Journal of Albion Moonlight is a work of unmistakable genius; in all of English literature it stands alone. Albion Moonlight is the most naked figure of a man I have encountered in all literature." -- Henry Miller

Kenneth Patchen (1911-1972) was one of the most prolific American poets of his time. He was born in Niles, Ohio. He attended school at the University of Madison-Wisconsin where he met his wife, Miriam Oikemus. They moved to Greenwich Village and befriended many writers including E.E. Cummings, Anais Nïn, and Henry Miller. An accident occurred after his first publication that would eventually leave him an invalid. He and his wife later moved to San Francisco during the early years of the Beat Movement. Many Beat poets would cite Patchen as a major influence. His "experimental protests" in poetry, painting, and prose remain unprecedented. Aside from his many books of poetry, his acclaimed novels, and his concrete visual works, Kenneth Patchen also collaborated with John Cage for the radio-play The City Wears a Slouch Hat, and worked with Charles Mingus developing jazz poetry. Patchen was an unwavering pacifist and many of his works have a political bent. Patchen was the first recipient of an NEA Literary Grant in 1967.
