Abstract :It must have been the fall semester 1963 when Robert Creeley came to Eugene to give a reading at the University of Oregon. For Love: Poems 1950–1960 had been published the year before. The writing program at the school held generous views about Creeley’s poetry and For Love had already brought in equally generous reviews. I went to the reading with great anticipation, mainly because as a second-year graduate student I was feeling free from Longfellow, Hawthorne and what I thought of as the pernicious New England mind; this was a chance to hear a poet speak directly to an audience and to get a sense of what was being talked about as the “New American Poetry.”
