Autor David Melnick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 ian 2024
*Melnick is a famously elusive elder gay poet in his 80¿s who is now in hospice, with a devoted cult following. His experiments in invented language, sound poetry, and translation have been deeply influential to younger generations of experimental writers, though few have met him in person due to a disability that leaves Melnick mostly bedridden. *Melnick was interviewed for the first time ever in 2019 for SFMOMA¿s Open Space by Gordon Faylor.

Notă biografică

David Melnick was born in Illinois in 1938 and raised in Los Angeles, educated at the University of Chicago (where he studied with Hannah Arendt) and the University of California at Berkeley. Although he spent time in France, Greece, and Spain (whence his mother’s ancestors emigrated in 1492), most of his adult life was centered in San Francisco. For an author’s note he once wrote, “This poet’s politics are left, his sexual orientation gay, his family Jewish…. He is short, fat, and resembles Modeste Moussorgsky in face and Gertrude Stein in body type and posture.” A participant in the Free Speech movement, Melnick was a key member of G.A.W.K. (Gay Artists and Writers Kollective) and an early inspiration to the Language Poets. His masterpiece, Men in Aida, began in a reading group organized by Robert Duncan. Melnick passed away in 2022, a day before his 84th birthday.
