Philip Whalen Click image for enlargement Born: October 20, 1923 Place of Birth: Portland, Oregon Texts from Levi Asher Literary Kicks Philip Whalen was a roommate of 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. A webzine called Big Bridge features a recent chapbook by Philip Whalen.

A Month with Philip Whalen Introduction: Between 1980 and 1985, I studied with Philip Whalen during his more-or-less yearly appearances at Naropa Institute. During the last three years it was more of a general assistant than a student. Later, Philip had triple-bypass heart surgery and, complicating his life even more, he was also not only legally blind (due to a screw-up on his cataract medicine at the hospital) but Sensei of the Hartford Street Zen Center and AIDS hospice. When I heard about his situation, I got this wild idea to write him a letter and offer my services as an assistant during his convalescence. To my amazement, I received a call the next week from his assistant who wanted to take some time off. After some discussion on the phone, we decided I would come out for a month and take care of Philip in the afternoons. What I wanted was to be able to stay at the San Francisco Zen Center and receive instruction while I was there. There was also some money in it for me. And so in 1993, I flew to San Francisco to "take care of" Philip Whalen. My duties were minimal. The main thing was to get Philip up and moving-his doctor insisted this was the best thing following his surgery. So we usually walked to the bank with a stop on the way back for groceries, and sometimes we’d also stop at the dry cleaners or the post office. Once we stopped at an art gallery. Philip had asked them to frame (very expensively) a Tibetan painting in gold. But he couldn't see, so he needed me to tell him if his precise instructions on how it should be framed had been followed. And then we went home and put it in a spare room that was piled high with paintings and boxes and papers and books.

45. In A Dark Time: Philip Whalen Archives I’m about halfway through philip whalen’s Overtime and finding more and moreties to those aspects of Beat poetry that I don’t find very endearing. http://lorenwebster.net/In_a_Dark_Time/archives/cat_philip_whalen.html

May 02, 2002 Always Save the Best for Last There are a number of poems in the last third of Overtime that appealed to me. Most of these discussed the connection between place and inspiration, a subject that has been of particular interest to me lately. In fact, as I was hiking the Columbia Gorge today I was wondering whether it belonged to me or I belonged to it. In my recent readings I have sensed more and more a connection to those artists who come from similar backgrounds. Interestingly enough, though, this first poem suggests that the opposite is true. Early on Whalen seemed to feel that sitting in the woods under a tree contemplating life like Henry David Thoreau was going to be an integral part of his writing: FOR M-D. SCHNEIDER A big part of this page (a big part of my head) Is missing. That cabin where I expected to sit in the Woods and write a novel got sold out from under my imagination I had it all figured out in the green filter of a vine-maple shade The itinerant grocer would arrive every week There was no doubt in my mind that I'd have money To trade for cabbages and bread Where did that vision take place-maybe Arizona Or New Mexico, where trees are much appreciated-

C O N T E N T S H O M E P A G E E L E V E N Dale Smith Philip Whalen: An Introduction I T'S DIFFICULT to write about the prolific work of Philip Whalen, the retiring Buddhist abbot and Beatnik whose poems "Sourdough Mountain Lookout," "2 Variations: All About Love" and others entered the historical imagination through Donald Allen's The New American Poetry . Reading his books - On Bear's Head Scenes of Life From The Capital, or Heavy Breathing, to name a few - is pure, highgrade fun, and offers a chronological roller coaster ride through the mind and moods of a master poet. But to address the work itself, to speak of it critically, or to answer its more subtle demands, becomes a great difficulty. Whalen brings his work so close to the surface of life - life as it happens, with all of the annoyances, minor joys and sudden wake-up calls - that it's probably best to leave the poems alone, sparing them the reductive evaluation of the critic's inquiry. But as poets, Beat fans, Buddhists and others joined last year to celebrate the long over-due volume of his selected poems, Overtime , Whalen's work demanded a second look.

The Philip Whalen Archive The Bancroft Library has acquired the archive of the poet Philip Whalen, who was on the stage with Allen Ginsberg at the Six Gallery in San Francisco that September night in 1955 when the public first heard the poem "Howl" read aloud, the night the Beat Generation was launched. The Six Gallery, in the Marina district, had been converted from an auto repair garage to an art space less than a year before, and in that time had hung a number of group and one-artist exhibitions. It had also hosted performances, including a reading of Robert Duncan's verse play Faust Foutu Lamantia's work faded from public view fairly quickly, but the other poets have gone on to become something that far transcends the notoriety of their early days. They've become accepted keepers of the national conscience and explorers of spirituality for believers who dare to speculate about their spirituality. Michael McClure has won acclaim and honors for his plays as well as his poetry and essays; Gary Snyder was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry and is recognized internationally as an effective activist in the ecological movement, as is McClure; Allen Ginsberg won the National Book Award for poetry, and also was recognized as an activist and leader in many movements from the anti-Vietnam war to Gay Rights. Philip Whalen, who has been a practicing Buddhist priest since February 3, 1973, has produced more than twenty volumes of poetry, fiction, commentary and interviews, including the major collections of poetry

June Jordan (1936) spoke at commencement at UC Berkeley just a few weeks before she died, slowly mounting the podium on crutches. She had battled breast cancer for years. Jordan was a radical political activist poet with a wicked sense of humor. Constantly pulling the string on rhetoric, homing in on her own foibles, she collapsed overt political issues into the arms of her lover almost always female. She was a sly, sexy reader, demanding and welcoming simultaneously. At Berkeley she created Poetry for the People, a course in activist poetry that spawned generations of working poets, an extraordinary antidote to the MFA workshops. The book of the same name is a Must Have, and is used in many young people’s courses, especially at

Philip Whalen I went down to the hospice diagonally across from the San Francisco Zen Center of Page Street today to say goodbye to Philip Whalen. A staffer at the hospice told me Philip's body was in the room at the top of the stairs. His name was on a sheet of paper on the door, in what looked like his distinctive calligraphic handwriting. I took off my shoes before I went in. A hospice worker and three Zen students were there, sitting zazen quietly as I entered. I last saw Philip eight years ago, when I finished my five-month term as his personal assistant, reading to him, keeping him company, and walking him to lunch several days a week. I felt guilty about not visiting him in his long years of illness, but our time together had been so complete, and had ended in such a perfect way, that I never felt like I needed to see him again. We had done our business. He used to make jokes about his "mountaine belly," a phrase from Boswell's life of Johnson, one of his favorite books. When I saw his corpse, I was shocked at how small he seemed. He looked little, lying under his brown robes on the narrow bed, his right hand clutching a Buddhist mala. His face was inclined slightly to the left, and eyes were half-shut, as if he were meditating; under the lids, I could see little wedges of pale blue. He was smiling slightly. Someone had placed three bright orange flowers at his left shoulder.
