Kaufman has been described as an "innovative poet" and an important writer who gained his prominence during the Beat period. As a youth, Kaufman had the opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of religions. His father was German-Jewish, his mother was Roman Catholic and his grandmother was a practitioner of voodoo. Eventually however, Kaufman developed an interest in eastern religions and like many of the other Beat writers, became a Buddhist. In 1958, Kaufman moved to San Francisco and quickly became acclimated to the lifestyle led by many of the writers and artists who were prominent during the Beat period. Much of his writing became "surreal" and was often inspired by jazz music. He published Crowded with Loneliness and founded a magazine called Beatitude in 1965.

Bob Kaufman Born: April 18, 1925 Place of Birth: New Orleans, Louisiana Bob Kaufman was, other than Langston Hughes, the greatest jazz poet who ever lived. He was one of 13 children born to a German Jewish father and a Black Catholic mother. He ran away from home and joined the Merchant Marines when he was 13, and circled the globe 9 times in the next 20 years. During that period Kaufman read literature and met a fellow Merchant Marine, Jack Kerouac , who had been discharged from the Armed Forces after refusing to obey certain orders. Kaufman later travelled to San Francisco where he joined Ginsberg Corso , and others during their literary "renaissance." Kaufman was known in America as "the original bebop man" and was very popular in France, where he was known as "the Black American Rimbaud ." His three volumes of poems are: Solitudes Crowded with Loneliness (New Directions) Golden Sardine (City Lights) Ancient Rain: Poems 1956-1978 (New Directions) In 1978, he withdrew again into solitude (but was not silent) for four years. There is a special library at the Sorbonne in Paris which has the bulk of his "papers" and information about him. He was much more popular in France than in America. He also published several "chapbooks" or "manifestos" for City Lights in the early to late sixties. Those are completely unavailable, and "Golden Sardine" is out of print and only available at better libraries.

Have fun on famous sets! Get paid! Click Here! Bob Zmuda's memoir Andy Kaufman Revealed! is both invaluable and exasperating. As Kaufman's writer and fellow provocateur, Zmuda was involved in all of his best known outrages: he served as referee (or ringside "lawyer") for the inter-gender wrestling matches, heckled Kaufman from the audience in televised comedy club appearances, and most memorably, he helped create Tony Clifton - Kaufman's grotesque lounge lizard alter ego - then took to playing the role in lieu of Kaufman. Zmuda knows all, and is willing to tell what he knows. Since Kaufman's work was so ephemeral (it survives now largely as rumor, stories passed on by people lucky enough to have been shocked by him in a comedy club or on a talk show), Zmuda's book is necessary. This isn't so much a biography as Kaufman's greatest hits. The stories are everything one could hope for: confounding, ridiculous, hilarious. Much of Kaufman's most intriguing material was played for small audiences who didn't know what they were seeing, and Zmuda goes to great pains to detail these events. A particularly fascinating and indicative tale: Kaufman once agreed to play a Borscht-belt resort, on the condition that his family appear with him. Before a crowd of 600, he trotted them out and made them each perform the songs and jokes they'd been telling each other for years. The crowd, of course, turned hostile at watching a sub-amateur hour talent show. Rather than salvage the evening with a quick bit of crowd-pleasing comedy, Kaufman prompted the family to keep performing for the duration of the show. They were kicked out of the resort later that night.

About Bob Kaufman Kathryne V. Lindberg Photo of Bob Kaufman © Robert E. Johnson. Online source http://www.npg.si.edu/img2/rebels/kaufman.jpg P Still "minor," compared to his white bohemian contemporaries, as editor of Beatitude, a San Francisco literary magazine, Kaufman is credited by some with coining "Beat" and exemplifying its voluntarily desolate lifestyle. He enjoyed an underground existence as a "poets' poet" (in Amiri Baraka's poem "Meditation on Bob Kaufman," Sulfur , Fall 1991) and as a legendary performer in the much memorialized street scenes of San Francisco's North Beach and New York's Greenwich Village during the late 1950s through the late 1970s. Kaufman is best known for short lyric poems in African American (Langston Hughes, ed., The New Negro Poetry, 1964, being the first) and avant-garde anthologies (New Directions in Prose and Poetry, #17, 1967, covering poetry and prose; The Portable Beat Reader, 1992). Works originally published by City Lights Bookstore of San Francisco are collected in two New Directions publications, Solitudes Crowded with Loneliness (1965) and The Ancient Rain: Poems 1956-1978 Three early broadsides

XCP home XCP Archive BOB KAUFMAN: JAZZ POET OF THE STREETS An essay by C. Natale Peditto PO Box 26218 Los Angeles, CA 90026 Bob Kaufman (1925-1986) was a legend to his own and succeeding generations of poets while he was still alive but has yet to obtain the literary stature granted to his fellow contemporaries, such as Ginsberg, Kerouac, Corso, Ferlinghetti and Baraka. Still, he is a seminal member of a distinctly American movement of poets, an archetypal figure of the Beat movement, especially as a member of the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance and the general community of North Beach artists of the late 1950s and early 1960s. In Kaufman's case, biographical (including autobiographical) material is sparse?never easily defined, he was, essentially, an autodidact and internationalist; in his youth, a sailor of the seven seas; a union organizer and orator in the South and on the Westcoast docks; an intimate of New York City's Bop figures Charlie "Bird" Parker (for whom Kaufman named his only son, Parker), Thelonius Monk and Charles Mingus. Bob Kaufman was a rambling man of the world and eternal social outsider who could recite T. S. Eliot and Garcia Lorca by heart and who created his own spontaneous surrealist verse. Stories of Kaufman's eccentric career are legion, and consequently at times apocryphal. By now, oral tradition itself (local word-on-the street grown into literary oral histories, memoirs and commentary) has transformed Bob Kaufman into a mythical legend in the folklore of Beatdom.
