Second April
In the abominable combustion of SECOND APRIL, a
strange new voice bursts upon the poetic scene. Owing
little to other Beat writers, BOB KAUFMAN has his own
great sound, and censors may pause to consider the possibility
of SECOND APRIL someday being recognized as
another of those important illuminations that transfigured
American poetry in the 1950's. SECOND APRIL is an
autobiographical journey springing out of the blind conjunction
of such events as Christ's April crucifixion, death
and resurrection by A-bomb, and the author's own birth.
