He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970). \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWith George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970). \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWith George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-).

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970). \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWith George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-).

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-).

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970). \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWith George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-). Finally, Rothenberg has translated work by Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Eugen\nGomringer, Rolf Hochhuth, Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters and many other European writers\ninto English. In 1968 Rothenberg received a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant for the\nexperimental translation of American Indian poetry. Rothenberg's own selected poetry,\nPoems for the Game of Silence, has appeared in French, Swedish, and Flemish/Dutch\neditions, and his work has been extensively translated into Spanish, Dutch, Italian,\nGerman, Serbian, and Finnish.","Jerry's Life 1931 Born 1955 MA from Wisconsin 1962 Establishes Hawk's Well Press with David Antin Publishes Revolution of the Work Son Matthew born.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin.\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970). \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eRothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974).\u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWith George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts. \u003c/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry.

He graduated from the City College of New York in 1952 and the\nfollowing year received a Master's Degree in Literature from the University of Michigan.\nHe spent the years 1953-1955 in the U.S. Army, stationed in Mainz, Germany, and returned\nfor further graduate studies at Columbia University from 1956 to 1959. Rothenberg's first published work, a group of translations from the German, appeared in\nthe Winter 1957 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1958 Lawrence Ferlinghetti asked\nRothenberg to translate a collection of postwar German poetry, which City Lights Books\npublished in 1959 as New Young German Poets. This work marked the first appearance in\nEnglish of such poets as Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, and Ingeborg Bachman. In 1958 Rothenberg founded Hawk's Well Press, which published early works by Robert\nKelly, Diane Wakoski, Armand Schwerner, and Rochelle Owens, as well as Rothenberg's first\nbook of poems, White Sun Black Sun. As an adjunct to these activities, Rothenberg edited\nthe magazine Poems from the Floating World, which included new works by poets Jackson Mac\nLow, Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Gary Snyder, and Robert Duncan. The\nmagazine was superseded in 1965 by Some/Thing, co-edited with David Antin. Rothenberg's works during this period reflect his experimentation with image in White Sun\nBlack Sun (1960) and attempts at thematic enlargement in The Seven Hells of the Jigoku\nZoshi (1962) to experiments with silences and disjunctions in Sightings (1964) to further\nexplorations of alternate poetic structures, uses of found poetry and collage,\ndevelopment of forms suggested by Gertrude Stein's work, experiments with dialogue and\nnarrative that mark The Gorky Poems (1966), Conversations (1968), and Poems 1964-1967.\nThese concerns and the connections between them were presented in Rothenberg's next work,\nPoems for the Game of Silence (1970).  Rothenberg's concern for the relationship between \"primitive\" and modern poetry led to\nthe development of an anthology of primitive and archaic poetry, Technicians of the\nSacred (1968). This work attempted to redefine the range of primitive poetry, presenting\nnot only words of songs, but picture poems, sound poetry, naming poems, dreams and\nvisions and scenarios of ritual-events. With the completion of this work, Rothenberg\ndirected his attention to ethnopoetics and began a study of Senecan Indian songs at the\nthe Allegheny Reservation in Steamburg, New York.  In 1968 Rothenberg received a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Anthropological\nResearch to conduct a two-part experiment in the translation of American Indian poetry.\nThe project involved a collaborative translation between Rothenberg and Seneca songmen\nand the translation of a series of Navajo horse-blessing songs. In this effort,\nRothenberg began to develop an approach he termed \"total translation,\" meaning that he\naccounted in the English version for every element in the original language, including\nthe so-called \"meaningless\" vocables, word distortions and redundancies. This close study\nand involvement with American Indian poetry and ritual promoted the development of\nRothenberg's next anthology, Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North\nAmericas (1972). Rothenberg's interest in American Indian and other tribal/oral poetries led to the\ndevelopment of a magazine, Alcheringa, the first periodical devoted exclusively to\nethnopoetics which he co-edited with Dennis Tedlock from 1970-1976. Concurrent with this\ninterest, Rothenberg began exploring his own ancestral themes and the lost world of\nJewish Poland in a series of poems which culminated in A Book of Testimony (1971), Esther\nK. Comes to America (1973), and Poland/1931 (1974). With George Quasha, Rothenberg published America A Prophecy in 1974. The intent of this\nanthology was to redefine the past and present of American poetry over an expanse of time\nand cultures. Also in that year he received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1976 a grant\nfrom the National Endowment for the Arts.  In 1978 Rothenberg published A Big Jewish Book: Poems and Other Visions of the Jews from\nTribal Times to the Present. Co-edited with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria, this\nvolume broke new ground in the fields of poetry and history. The book provides a unique\nhistory/anthology of Jewish consciousness in the form of poetry and oral traditions. For\nthe book, Rothenberg drew on both sacred and secular sources, with the link between them\nemphasizing the poetic/visionary continuum and the mystical and magical side of the\nJewish tradition. To document the entire range of the Jewish poetry tradition, Rothenberg\ndivided the book into three sections which explore the mythic, historic, and poetic\nthemes of Jewish poetry. Many of the works contained were newly translated or uncovered. Rothenberg's next major anthology, Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An\nEthnopoetics, co-edited with Diane Rothenberg, appeared in 1983. This book traces an\nongoing course of work and thought on poetry and culture that has influenced the art of\nmodern times. Symposium follows the concept of ethnopoetics from the writings of\npredecessors such as Vico, Blake, Thoreau, and Tzara to more recent essays and manifestos\nby poets and social thinkers, including Olson, Eliade, Snyder, and Baraka. The work is\nunique in its vision and scope, addressing both poetics and politics. Since 1960, Rothenberg has served as an instructor at various colleges and universities,\nincluding: the City College of New York (1960-1961); the Mannes College of Music, New\nYork City (1961-1970); the University of California, San Diego (Regents' Professor,\n1971); the New School for Social Research (1971-1972); the University of Wisconsin,\nMilwaukee (1974-1976); San Diego State University (1976-1977); the University of\nCalifornia, San Diego (1977-1985); SUNY Albany (Writer in Residence, 1986); SUNY\nBinghampton (1986-1988); and the University of California, San Diego (1988-).
