Editor's Note:
Golden Sardine by Bob Kaufman was published as #21 in City Lights’ Pocket Poets series. Kaufman had already entered a long period of silence that extended from 1963 to 1972, during which he published nothing and appears to have written little, though previously unpublished poems were included in his 1981 volume The Ancient Rain. Artist Mary Beach, who worked in in Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s City Lights publishing office, discovered the manuscript of Golden Sardine and insisted on its high literary value (because of Kaufman’s debt to Dada and the Surrealists, she considered his work superior even to Ginsberg’s). Her husband, the poet and translator Claude Pélieu, published it in French before Beach urged Ferlinghetti to issue it in his famous series, one of the foundational publishing imprints of Beat literature. Kaufman was well-known in Beat circles in San Francisco’s North Beach scene, but this was his only City Lights book during his lifetime. The press also published notable broadsides of his poems “Abomunist Manifesto,” “Second April,” and “Does the Secret Mind Whisper?”.Golden Sardine is Kaufman’s second of three full-length, nationally-released books, wedged between Solitudes Crowded with Loneliness (1965) and Ancient Rain: Poems 1956-1978 (1981), both published by New Directions. (Coffee House Press’s Cranial Guitar: Selected Poems by Bob Kaufman would be published posthumously in 1995.) It marks a clear progression from a more tightly lyrical style to a longer, more open line and an increasingly adventurous approach to form, possibly influenced, like Ginsberg’s “America,” by the socially oriented comedians at the time, especially Lenny Bruce, but consistent in the manically biting, surrealistic social humor, jazz-immersive sensibility, and subtle, introspective expressions of deep pain that marks all his work.
