Liner Notes read:
SAN FRANCISCO POETS focuses on the exciting phenomenon of a young group in the process of creating a new American culture. With what the New Yorker calls "a pervasive desire to get out into the open in order to breathe fresh, creative air . . . looking for some large poetic form that can accommodate anything and everything -- including ordinarily rejected and suspect material," a vigorous new generation of writers, painters and musicians in the Bay Area is revolting against the sterility of American "academicians." Brought together here for the first time are the leading figures of the "San Francisco Renaissance" in a cross section of their work, including: Brother Antoninus, O.P. (The South Coast; Out Of The Ash) | Kenneth Rexroth (Noretorp-Noretsyh) | Robert Duncan (The Fear That Precedes; Changes Of Heaven; This Place; Rumord To Have Been Sodom; From: The Structure Of Rime, Part 6) | Lawrence Ferlinghetti (Dog; From; A Coney Island Of The Mind; #5, #9, #14) | Michael McClure (The; Cat's Air; Night Words; The Ravishing) | Philip Whalen (The Road-Runner For L.J. Reynolds; Homage To Robert Creeley; Small Tantric Sermon) | Allen Ginsburg (Howl For Carl Solomon) | James Broughton (Nativity 1956; Bridge To The Innermost Forest; The Madman's House; Please Do Not Feed The Senators) | Josephine Miles (Project; Reception; Orderly; Message) | Jack Spicer (The Song Of The Bird In The Loins; The Dancing Ape . . .; Psychoanalysis: An Elegy)
