Third Rail's new Kenneth Rexroth Festschrift
goes online (three years after his centenary in 2005) with the
intention of moving Rexroth studies forward into the new
century. TR's first Rexroth festschrift appeared in 1987. The
editors feel that a multi-faceted exploration of Rexroth's literary,
historical and cultural significance is called for in order to cut
through twenty-five years of cultural revisionism since his
passing and reveal the true meaning of his contribution. The
initial offering in this online celebration of one of the most
profoundly influential American poets of the twentieth century is
literary-historical writing focused on Reevaluating Rexroth, links
to which are listed above. More critical analysis reassessing the
impact of Rexroth's life and work will be added. Currently in the
works for these Rexroth pages in the near future are memoirs and
reminiscences, translations and international writing, letters,
photographs, artwork, ephemera, texts, images, archival
materials and links to other online Rexroth resources.
