Neeli Cherkovski (born Nelson Cherry; July 1, 1945) is an American poet and memoirist, who has resided since 1975 in San Francisco. Born in Santa Monica, California, Cherkovski grew up in San Bernardino, California. In the 1970s he was a political consultant in the Riverside area, who came to San Francisco to work on the staff of then-State Senator George Moscone. Cherkovski has written biographies of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Charles Bukowski, with whom he co-edited the Los Angeles zine Laugh Literary and Man the Humping Guns . Cherkovski produced the first San Francisco Poetry Festival, and in the early-1990s helped to found Café Arts Month, a yearly event celebrating San Francisco’s café culture. Cherkovski is the author of Whitman’s Wild Children , a collection of essays about twelve poets he has known: Michael McClure, Charles Bukowski, John Wieners, James Broughton, Philip Lamantia, Bob Kaufman, Allen Ginsberg, William Everson, Gregory Corso, Harold Norse, Jack Micheline, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. This book combines biography, personal stories, and poetry analyses. Cherkovski was a writer-in-residence at the New College of California in San Francisco. He taught literature and philosophy there until the school closed in 2008. His body of poetry includes Animal , Elegy for Bob Kaufman and Leaning Against Time , for which he was awarded the 15th Annual PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award in 2005. In 2017 he was awarded the Jack Mueller Poetry Prize by Lithic Press. Cherkovski’s papers are housed at the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.

    Dynamics of Politicization in the Twentieth-Century U.S. Poetry Field by Barış Büyükokutan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor George P. Steinmetz, Chair Professor Howard A. Kimeldorf Professor Alan M. Wald Professor Michael D. Kennedy, Brown University Professor Gisèle Sapiro, Centre national de la recherche scientifique © Barış Büyükokutan 2010 To my mother ii Acknowledgements Many people helped me directly and indirectly over my eight years at Michigan. George Steinmetz, my principal advisor, allowed me to pursue my interests wherever they went while not failing to make some very fateful interventions that decisively shaped my work for the better. Howard Kimeldorf was always there when I needed his advice, always supportive, and always the first to respond to my queries. Gisèle Sapiro gave valuable advice during the research stage. Alan Wald and Michael Kennedy, the remaining members of my dissertation committee, were helpful and available. Müge Göçek, my former advisor, trusted my instincts; Peggy Somers gave much-needed support during the coursework stage; and Nükhet Sirman constantly reminded me of other perspectives that I could easily have forgotten as a result of disciplinary isolation. Poets Neeli Cherkovski, Diane di Prima, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Joanne Kyger, Ron Loewinsohn, and Gary Snyder kindly spent time with me, answering my numerous questions. I owe much to Ann Arbor friends: Shpresa and Besnik Pula, Lai Sze Tso, Heejin Jun, Sadia Saeed, Atef Said, Camilo Leslie, Kristen Hopewell, Mariana Craciun, Maria Farkas, Ethan Schoolman, David Dobbie, Claire Decoteau, Hiro Saito, Avi Astor, Cedric Deleon, Matt Desan, Eric Eide, Marco Garrido, Alex Gerber, Kim Greenwell, Claire Whitlinger, Elizabeth Young, Meagan Elliott, and Dan Hirschman.

  • Beatitude Magazine and the 1970S San Francisco Renaissance
    Beatitude Magazine and the 1970s San Francisco Renaissance From the early 1970s through the early 1980s, for about a decade, San Francisco was often compared to Paris and the urban centers in Russia at the turn of the century. “A renaissance” some of us say, now, looking back. And even then, that word used to slip from our lips in moments of projected epiphany or outlandish optimism. Centered around City Lights Bookstore in North Beach, a fleur-de-lis had sprouted and bloomed, whose petals would eventually spread into the ethnic neighborhoods in San Francisco and out over the whole Bay Area, with leafy creative vines reaching other literary and artistic circles, further afield, in Berkeley, Bolinas, the Russian River and up along the coast and north--all the way to Mendocino and the North San Juan Ridge community in the Sierra foothills and as far south as Santa Cruz. Young poets, artists and musicians coming from all over the country, and in fact the world, were arriving almost daily to add their voices to the chorus of a growing community of younger generation bohemian brethren. The Hippie/Flower Children explosion of the 60s and early 70s was over--and the Beats were taking a back-seat to the rock bands, pop singers, cult films and new age spirituality that was getting all the attention here in America. I had returned to the U.S., from France, where I had spent an unexpectedly short stint as an ex-patriot and wannabe Rimbaud, and the timing was perfect for a handful of us in our twenties, who had migrated to San Francisco/North Beach to be near our forty and fifty-something Beat literary heroes from the 50s, who greeted us with open arms.

    Big Joy Project & Frisky Divinity Productions Present BIG JOY The Adventures of James Broughton http://www.bigjoy.org/ U.S., 2013 82 minutes / Color / HD Festival Booking & Sales Contact Stephen Silha, Frisky Divinity Productions [email protected] (206) 567-4363 LOG LINE A charismatic and visionary poet and filmmaker who emerged in the artistic renaissance of post-WWII San Francisco, James Broughton led a completely unconventional existence in his lifelong quest for creative artistry, sexual and spiritual love and an evolved state of happiness. BIG JOY is a celebratory mosaic of Broughton’s deeply intertwined creative and personal lives, vividly depicted through his involvement with a wide array of artists, activists and spiritual guides. LONG SYNOPSIS Years before the Beats arrived in San Francisco, the city exploded with artistic expressions – painting, theatre, film, and poetry. At its center was the groundbreaking filmmaker and poet James Broughton. “Big Joy” explores Broughton's passionate embrace of a life of pansexual transcendence and a fiercely independent mantra: ‘follow your own weird’. His remarkable story spans the post-war San Francisco Renaissance, his influence on the Beat generation, escape to Europe during the McCarthy years, a lifetime of acclaim for his joyous experimental films and poetry celebrating the human body, finding his soul mate at age 61, and finally, his ascendancy as a revered bard of sexual liberation.

    Peter Whitfield The High and Palmy State of Poetry: An In-depth Review of Visions and Affiliations: a California Literary Timeline, Poets and Poetry 1940 -2005 by Jack Foley The best part of a lifetime ago, while attempting to learn English history at school and university, young students like me were introduced to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, a year- by-year record, compiled in various monasteries, of events in England from soon after the Romans left through to the year 1000 and beyond. It is thanks to this chronicle that we now know the heroic story of King Alfred the Great, his battles to resist the invading Vikings and to foster law, learning and culture in his kingdom. This chronicle has always been fundamental to our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon England, and without it the so-called Dark Ages in England would be darker still—so dark as to be almost invisible. What has this to do with Jack Foley’s magisterial survey of modern poets and poetry in California? Simply this: that if the reading and study of poetry has a future, then in the years and even the centuries to come I believe that these volumes will remain a fundamental source for anyone thinking and writing about poetry in the twentieth century, not only in California but in America as a whole, and even in world terms. It is a local study that has resonances which spread far beyond California and America too, showing how poetry may relate to far-reaching changes in social and cultural life, and it 1 shows how terribly wrong the idea is that poetry no longer matters in the modern world.
