But since I didn&#8217;t get to read it at Poets House, here is my section from the next <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Grand Piano, </i>which should be out in a week or two. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>SOMETIME AROUND late 1967, a then recent graduate of Bard, David Perry, arrived in San Francisco State&#8217;s creative writing program &amp; he &amp; I quickly discovered that we shared an enthusiasm for the work of Robert Kelly &amp; the many poets Kelly had been teaching, basically <i>The New American Poetry</i>. David also knew all the recent Bard College grads who either lived in the Bay Area (John Gorham, Harvey Bialy) or were visiting (Tom Meyer, still then a teenager I believe). One day very early in &#8217;68, David convinced me that we had to go to the Albany Public Library to hear Bialy read. It was the very place where I&#8217;d first discovered poetry some six years earlier, but I hadn&#8217;t set foot in that building on Solano since I&#8217;d left home, so for me the reading was already laden with symbolic power before Paul Mariah, who curated the series there, introduced the readers. Bialy was fine, maybe a little quieter than I&#8217;d expected, but it was the poet reading with him, somebody I&#8217;d never heard of before, who blew me away. David Bromige was tall with a long face, a resonant baritone, a mastery of syntax that I had not found anywhere, even in the work of Robert Duncan, &amp; a ready, almost twinkly wit that gave me the impression that had Charles Dickens been alive and a New American poet, he would have been very much like this fellow. It was a stunning, eye-opening performance &amp; I vowed to get to know this poet.</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>1</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt'> </span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>At thirty-five, Bromige was a grad student at Berkeley, writing a dissertation on the Black Mountain poets, far more widely read than I &amp; just a little suspicious of the motives of twenty-one-year-olds. He lived in a cottage apartment with his then-wife, fiction writer Sherril Jaffe, just north of the campus, not far from Josephine Miles&#8217;s place &amp; a short walk to Serendipity Books, which in those days encompassed not only the rare books business it is today, but a bookstore &amp; the distribution operations that subsequently evolved into SPD. I would meet David at his place or at Serendipity, or we would walk over to a beer &amp; pizza den on Shattuck just off University &amp; have long discussions, part gossip, part theory.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>Our positions in those days were not at all equivalent. Having already had poems accepted by <i>Poetry</i>, <i>TriQuarterly</i>, <i>Chicago Review </i>&amp; the like, I was full of myself, hyperconscious of my status as a &#8220;published poet,&#8221; which was somewhat unusual among undergraduates even at San Francisco State. But I was also painfully aware of just how hollow all of that truly was &amp; appalled&#8212;daily!&#8212;at how little I knew &amp; how much I had yet to learn. Not that I</span> <span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>would have admitted that to anyone, least of all myself. Compared with David Bromige, I was an absolute beginner. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='color:black;mso-no-proof:no'>As the 60s gave way to the next decade, the grand pooh-bah of poetry in the Bay Area was manifestly Robert Duncan, who was only too happy to remind you of this himself. Of all the poets around him, David was by far the most accomplished, most published, most widely read. David already had four books: <i>The Gathering</i>, <i>The Ends of the Earth</i>, <i>The Quivering Roadway </i>&amp; <i>Please, Like Me</i>. Two of these volumes were from Black Sparrow Press, a &#8220;big&#8221; small press publisher that aimed to be more to be like New Directions or City Lights than, say, White Rabbit or Oyez. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
