✦ 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.
