He grew up just south of Portland and during WWII, he served in the US Army Air Corps. He attended Reed College on the GI Bill and received his B.A. in 1951. Gary Snyder and Lew Welch were Whalen's roommates during college. Whalen read with Gary Snyder Allen Ginsberg Philip Lamantia , and Michael McClure at the Six Gallery on October 7, 1955, when the infamous "Howl" was first read. Whalen is generally considered one of the pioneering forces behind the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance of the mid-1950s. The author's work differs from much Beat writing in its reverential treatment of the mundane, its self-deprecating humor, and its generally apolitical tone. Dictionary of Literary Biography essayist Paul Christensen writes: "Whalen's singular style and personality contribute to his character in verse as a bawdy, honest, moody, complicated songster of the frenzied mid-century, an original troubadour and thinker who refused to take himself too seriously during the great revival of visionary lyric in American poetry."

PHILIP WHALEN Photo by Nancy Davis Philip Whalen was born in Portland, Oregon in October of 1923. He grew up in the small town of The Dalles, two hours southeast of Portland on the Columbia River. After serving with the US Army Air Corps during the second Word War, he returned to the Pacific Northwest to attend Reed College where he met fellow students Lew Welch and Gary Snyder. He eventually moved to the San Francisco Bay Area working odd jobs to support his writing. During the 1950s he met Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and other figures of the San Francisco Rennaissance. On October 6, 1955, he was a participant in the historical Six Gallery reading where he read with Kerouac, Ginsberg, Snyder, Philip Lamantia, and Michael McClure. His poetry appeared in issues of the Evergreen Review , as well as other small journals of the period, and in 1960 he appeared in Donald Allen's New American Poetry anthology. Whalen is the author of numerous books of poetry, including Like I Say and Memoirs of an Interglacial Age which, along with other early books, were collected in the 1967 publication of

Philip Whalen TRUE CONFESSIONS My real trouble is People keep mistaking me for a human being. Olson (being a great poet) says "Whalen!that Whalen is aa That Whalen is a great big vegetable!" He's guessing exactly in the right direction. 6:xi:64 Philip Whalen was born: October 20, 1923, Portland, Oregon The degree of respect and admiration the beats had for Whalen is remarkable. He was adored by Kerouac, who found him easy to be with and confide in. Philip's nonjudgmental nature and education is probably one the keys here in that. Ginsberg considered Whalen the only Zen Master Poet practicing in America. So as not to narrow the breadth of influence and admiration of his peers, it is interesting to note that upon publication of Overtime the following luminaries came out to praise and celebrate this wise and good-hearted "Zen Falstaff": Gary Snyder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure, Diane diPrima, David Meltzer, Clark Coolidge, Joanne Kyger, Bill Berkson, Lewis MacAdams, Phoebe MacAdams, Jackson Mac Low, Ron Padgett, Anne Waldman, Anselm Hollo, Jack Collom, Mei-Mei Bersenbrugge, Charles Bernstein, Lewis Warsh, Anne Tardos, Eileen Myles, and many others. The spirit of honor and admiration for Philip Whalen extends beyond the Beat Generation. He is honored by some as one of the progenitors of the Language School movement of poetry. And by others he said to be the progenitor of Zen poetry in America. One thing for certain, he spread an "ecology of permission" that enabled poets of every style and taste to go beyond the limits of the known to explore their new creative selves.

PHILIP WHALEN On, June 26th, 2002, in San Francisco, my dear friend, mentor, and poet, Philip Whalen, died. Born in Portland, Oregon, October 20th, 1923, he was 78. I will always remember his Kind and Wise Counsel. In the Bay Area Buddhist Smorgasbord of the early 70's, he was one of the few with a Historical Perspective of what we were doing. At Zen Center we spent many an afternoon slinging the bull. There, with Great Patience, he helped me deal with the Loss of a Lover, the Return of Dick Baker from Japan, and my Escape from Living a Life within a Circle too Small. Four years ago, I spent a day viewing prints and drawings of Hokusai in Obuse, Japan. I returned to Nagano by following the winding, emerald green Chikuma River. That night I ask my friend, Matsushima, whose family had lived along that river for over 400 years, "Where is the living successor to Issa, Ikkyu, Basho?" "He doesn't live far, it would be hard to go there." "He doesn’t receive visitors." "Cause, if you saw his house, you’d say, ‘Dog House!’" "Oh, Damn! That’s the same thing we do with our Poets back home!" Now that Philip's gone, maybe he'll receive the Greater Recognition he deserves.

PHILIP WHALEN from "GOLDBERRY IS WAITING"; or, P.W., HIS MAGIC EDUCATION AS A POET ME to ALL THOSE OTHERS , but from the invisible magical worlds to me . . . everybody else, ALL THOSE OTHERS , "my audience, don’t need what I say; they already know. I had been very worried about theories and philosophies and orthodoxies; I now perceived that I had had far too many; so many, that I had been separated from my own senses, my own real experience of the natural world. (It took a great deal of experimentation and study and thought to find out the true nature and function of my various senses and faculties.) The impulse to write had overthrown all my theories as well as the question of "Where does it come from?" People tell me that it must be very difficult to write, to be a write. I no longer argue the point with them. I can only say here that I like doing it. I also enjoy cutting and revising what I’ve written, for in the midst of those processes I often discover images and visions and ideas which I hadn’t been conscious of before, and these add thickness and depth and solidity to the final draft, not simply polish alone. In the act of revision and complication and turmoil, a funky nowhere piece of writing can suddenly pick up and become an extraordinary, independent creature. It escapes from my too certain, too expert control. It frees itself not only from my grasp but also from my ego, my ambition, my megalomania . . . simultaneously, the liberation of a piece of writing liberates myself from these delusionary systems. Ideally, the writing will give the reader that same feeling of release, freedom and exaltation: a leap, a laugh, a high.

17. Overtime Selected Poems By Philip Whalen Reviewed by Tom Clark. From Jacket 7. http://www.jacketmagazine.com/07/whalen-clark.html

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E OVERTIME: Selected Poems, by Philip Whalen Reviewed by Tom Clark You can read a feature on Philip Whalen in Jacket # 11. out , Whalen tends to circle around slowly and return to certain obsessive themes and rhythms. His formal universe, as he advises John Cage in the poem quoted above, is not really unbounded space, but, like a tuned piano's, a "closed system." Philip Whalen Whalen's finicky, self-conscious, urbane, pointillist sketching features high detail-resolution. A patient reader will pick up on brilliant perceptual moments of stillness, clarity and depth that accumulate small shocks in contemplative micro-spaces. That unexpected, instantaneous "shift from opacity to brilliance" Whalen speaks of in his firewatching poem "Sourdough Mountain Lookout" encapsulates his stylistic signature: "The Zenbos say, 'Lightning-flash & flint-spark.' " [p. 20].       A self-acknowledged tendency to "bald-faced didacticism" in "moving from the particular to the general" [p. 50] sometimes pushes the vividly articulated moments of Whalen's poetry over the edge of their synapses toward wisdom, or beyond themselves into philosophical enlargement. The teacher in this poet lurks never too far beneath the surface of the amused or bemused observer.       Yet even the most generalizing of Whalen's poems has a way of turning itself inside-out with a deft, koan-like touch, as in "The Dharma Youth League," a small account of sudden enlightenment-within-confusion written in Kyoto in 1966:

Literary Kicks Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards Philip Whalen Philip Whalen was born in Portland, Oregon on October 20, 1923. He roomed with future poets Gary Snyder and Lew Welch 's at Reed College in Oregon. (Shit, how come when I look back at my old college roommates all I see is one lawyer, one salesman and one eternal grad student?) Whalen did not pursue a career in poetry, but fell into it after Snyder asked him to take part in the famous Six Gallery poetry reading in 1955. A good portrait of Whalen, Snyder's slightly older and chubbier Zen-poet friend, appears in ' The Dharma Bums ' by Jack Kerouac (the character's name is Warren Coughlin). Like Snyder and Kerouac, Whalen took Buddhism very seriously, and also like them he found spiritual enlightenment as a fire lookout in the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific Northwest. Whalen published many highly respected works of poetry, and was ordained as a Zen monk in 1973. He has been suffering from severe eyesight problems in recent years. He continues to live as a Buddhist in San Francisco.
