Kenneth Rexroth
Kenneth Charles Marion Rexroth (December 22, 1905 – June 6, 1982) was an American poet, translator, and critical essayist. He is regarded as a central figure in the
San Francisco Renaissance, and paved the groundwork for the movement. Although he did not consider himself to be a
Beat poet, and disliked the association, he was dubbed the "Father of the Beats" by ''
Time'' magazine. Largely self-educated, Rexroth learned several languages and translated poems from
Chinese,
French,
Spanish, and
Japanese.
