✦ Synopsis

Kenneth Patchen has created many worlds�the terrible nightmare world of his�*Albion Moonlight . . .�*the distorting-mirror world of his Shy�*Pornographer . . .�*the haunting, tender inner world of the love poems . . . and now the comic, disturbing world of these new poems and drawings of�Because It Is.

Klee and Goya, Edward Lear and Christian Morgenstern, Kit Smart and Blake are others who have had this genius for inventing a special universe of fantastic revelation. So powerful is Patchen's rejection of the world we read about in the newspapers�the supposedly real�that we find ourselves accepting the dictates of his imagination with full belief and following him with mounting excitement�and a sensation of joyous release�into a world that�*does�*exist because of Kenneth Patchen.
