dozen volumes of poetry, essays and fiction, Crccley has been a close admirer of Ezra Pound, a correspondent with William Carlos Williams and a friend of Allen Ginsberg. Known for his exciting poetry sessions and engaging lectures, he gives a free poetry reading today, Thursday, October 19 at 4 PM in the UCSB University Center Pavilion.

Creeley’s is a compressed, personal poetical style he developed in the 1950s when the writer was a student and later a teacher at Black Mountain College, an experimental center for artists located near Asheville, North Carolina. Between 1954 and 1957 Creeley edited the Black Mountain Review, a pivotal avant-garde magazine. During this period Creeley was creating his own poetic voice as well as publishing the work of other budding writers. Creeley earned an M.A. degree at the University of New Mexico in 1957 and taught there in 1961. After travels to Mexico and Europe, he reached San Francisco where he met and befriended Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and the other writers of the Beat Generation with whom Creeley is sometimes associated. His poems have been published in numerous collected editions, including For Love, covering the More Than Just decade of the 1950s, Word (1967), which critic Frederick Will says marked “a new moment in 20th century poetry,” and his Collected Poems: ¡945-1975, published in 1983. Since Some Fiddling Around 1968 Creeley has been on the faculty of the State University of New York at Buffalo.
