Lisa Jarnot takes us from Duncan's birth in Oakland, California, through his childhood in an eccentrically Theosophist household, to his life in San Francisco as an openly gay man who became an inspirational figure for the many poets and painters who gathered around him. Weaving together quotations from Duncan's notebooks and interviews with those who knew him, Jarnot vividly describes his life on the West Coast and in New York City and his encounters with luminaries such as Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, Paul Goodman, Michael McClure, H.D., William Carlos Williams, Denise Levertov, Robert Creeley, and Charles Olson. 000454531 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000454531 60010 $$aDuncan, Robert,$$d1919-1988. 000454531 650_0 $$aGay men$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000454531 650_0 $$aModernism (Literature)$$zUnited States. 000454531 650_0 $$aPoets, American$$y20th century$$vBiography. 000454531 650_0 $$aArt and literature$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000454531 651_0 $$aSan Francisco (Calif.)$$xIntellectual life$$y20th century. 000454531 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJarnot, Lisa, 1967-$$tRobert Duncan, the Ambassador from Venus.$$dBerkeley : University of California Press, 2012$$z9780520234161$$w(DLC) 2012015163$$w(OCoLC)756591037 000454531 8520_ $$bacq 000454531 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000454531 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000454531 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=943599$$zOnline Access 000454531 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=943599$$zOnline Access 000454531 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:454531$$pGLOBAL_SET 000454531 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000454531 980__ $$aBIB 000454531 982__ $$aEbook 000454531 983__ $$aOnline
