Late Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Congratulations, David! ... from the above link ~ "Linehan Press is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of Passing Through by acclaimed poet David Gitin. This book, a collection spanning thirty years, is Gitin's eighth book of poetry. Passing Through is Gitin's first book in sixteen years, representing his largest collection since 1979. It includes six poems never published in book form in addition to revisions of earlier work. David Gitin, born in Buffalo, New York, was influenced by the work and friendship of Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olson, and Robert Creeley before moving to San Francisco in the mid-60s where he co-founded Poets Theater, edited Bricoleur, produced radio programs for KPFA in Berkeley, and associated with many of the Beat poets and legendary musicians of the time. Then in 1974, after living in the rural town of Cotati, California, and Madison, Wisconsin, he settled in Monterey, California, to teach Creative Writing at Monterey Peninsula College. He also worked as a jazz disc jockey at KAZU for nineteen years and often performs his poetry in collaboration with musicians. Among his hundreds of publications, Gitin's work has appeared in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Poetry Nippon. His recent work can be seen in The Anthology of Monterey Bay Poets 2004, The Café Review, Voleur de Feu, Big Bridge, and others. Refer to the 2003 Monterey County Weekly article "The Beat Goes On" for more background on David Gitin." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
