REVIEWED BY NEELI CHERKOSKI
Poet A D Winans is a native San Franciscan who came of age during the heyday of the beat generation in His hometown. The beat poets along with Kenneth Patchen and Charles Bukowski had quite an influence on the direction he would take in his own poetry. It's a poetry of the streets and a poetry of the common language, going back to Walt Whitman. Over the years, Winans has written about some of his literary heroes, always with passion, always with a deep understanding of how the tradition of poetry is passed hand-to-hand down the generations. It is a great moment to see a few of his essays, or portraits, collected in one volume.
Dead Lions is aptly named. Winans has chosen to write of Alvah Bessie, that heroic screenwriter who was one of the Hollywood 10, a victim of the Communist scare of the 1950s engendered by Senator Joseph McCarthy and others. There are tributes to three poets as well, Bob Kaufman, Jack Micheline, and Charles Bukowski. One might read the text and feel as if they had been wandering through a portrait gallery. That is how keenly Winans does his job. I came away from reading this book with a new sense of all of these people. The three poets I knew well. Bessie is known to me only from a distance in the context of the persecution.
What really makes Dead Lions an important book is the intimacy Winans brings to the page. It’s that same sense of the intimate that is in his own poetry. Kaufman, Micheline, and Bukowski we're true literary outsiders. For each of them it was a long pull to be given notice from the literary Community. Winans knew Bukowski in the days when he was a creature of the little poetry journals and a major figure in the Mimeo revolution of the 1960s, which now seems so long ago. He knew Bob Kaufman in North Beach hanging out with him at bars and cafes. He was closest to Jack Micheline and that comes through in his book. For Winans Micheline's defiance of literary propriety was an important signal to younger poets. Once again, Whitman is echoed. Jack's "barbaric yelp" was the ticket to freedom from academe.
I was particularly taken with Winans’ portrait of Bob Kaufman. He offers a good deal of biographical information that one rarely finds. He writes, “Kaufman considered himself a Buddhist and believed that a poet had a call to a higher order.” As one of Bob’s intimate friends, I remember him quoting from ancient Buddhist texts as we sat around the kitchen table in my apartment. He was never loud about it. Winans tells us, “He was an oral poet who didn’t write for publication or expectations of fame and fortune, which is what drew me to him.’
This is romanticism and it is charming to witness. I think of Nelson Algren’s book title, “A Walk on the Wild Side.” It reminds me of the poets Winans admires. He wraps up the Kaufman piece with a description of the pubic outpouring after his death as more than one hundred people marched through North Beach in tribute to the poet’s life.
Winans has written extensively on Bukowski. Once again, it was the rebellion in "Buk" that Winans admires, and he pays him tribute. This piece is filled with up- close and personal recollection. Winans indulges in a bit of psychological profiling, including Bukowski’s mistrust of friends. In contrast, he writes: “His first book, Post Office, was written in nineteen days. The book is filled with laughter that shines through the pain of working at a dead-end job that kills a man’s spirit and physically breaks him down. I know! I worked for the San Francisco Post Office for five years.” It was after reading this novel that Winans became an avid fan. The snapshot of the times he spent hanging out with Bukowski are memorable, including a jaunt into one of the famous San Francisco watering holes, Gino and Carlos, a venerable poet’s haunt. He recounts taking Bukowski to the Caffe Trieste in North Beach. The L A. bard would not enter. He just commented that the habitués were sitting there waiting for something to happen. “Hank, “as Bukowski was known to his friends, comes through with full flavor. One finishes the essay and wishes for more. Perhaps Winans will find the time to expand this interesting portrait of the raucous poet.
Jack Micheline comes through as the quintessential literary barbarian. Some biographical information quickly gives way to anecdote. Jack is plunked onstage by Winans and we watch him in court and jail, in one bar after another amid quotes from the man himself. Winans has a good memory and may have scribbled some of Jacks words down in a notebook. Describing the old days to A D. Micheline said, “Poetry was everywhere. Every day Kaufman and I read a poem. It is not part of history, but I was arrested for pissing on a police car the same night Kaufman was arrested outside the Co-Existence Bagel Shop.” It was the fervor of Micheline’s attack on our safe and sound society that Winans admires, and it comes through remarkably well. It is another one of those useful handbooks of poetic sensibility, with the added bonus of having insights into the life of Alvah Bessie.

A.D. Winans: Poem For An Unknown Soldier
Al Winans and Jack Micheline, Bernal Heights, San Francisco.
Poem For An Unknown Soldier
Now just a fading memory
on a blood drenched beach
in Normandy
flies buzz around you
a sand crab feasts
on an open wound
Eighteen to young to drink
but old enough to die
faded memories relived once a year
like old time religion
like old time religion
no more war for you
no more dreams
no more dreams
no lover to hold in your arms
no family to embrace you
no friends to break bread with
your youth consumed spit-out
no family to embrace you
no friends to break bread with
your youth consumed spit-out
in the stink hole of the
immaculate war machine
your home an invisible grave where
you can’t hear the crying over the
counting of the money
counting of the money
on Wall Street
is there life after death
or does the mind become an atom
take residence in the black hole?
take residence in the black hole?
back home there are baseball games
hot dogs and beer
the singing of the National Anthem
hot dogs and beer
the singing of the National Anthem
families will gather around a barbecue
cats purr dogs wag their tail
cats purr dogs wag their tail
boot camps turn out new recruits
for new wars
your reward duty to the master
a folded flag for next of kin
a grave at Arlington Cemetery
where worms feast at your bones

A.D. Winans: Captain Jack
CAPTAIN JACK
I know this poet who dances with words
who does the two-step political hustle
that lacks any real muscle
who does the two-step political hustle
that lacks any real muscle
a Waltzing Matilda poet
who glides along the dance floor
like a skilled political whore
who glides along the dance floor
like a skilled political whore
a poet weaned on the game of favors
who traded in his vision
for a poetry politicians hat
who traded in his vision
for a poetry politicians hat
but dancing for an audience
isn’t like feeling the rhythm
isn’t like feeling the rhythm
that rubs up against the soul
Buffy Saint-Marie
Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie,
Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie,
Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg
were living proof of this
were living proof of this
power corrupts
the spiritual truth
the scriptures tell us this
the true poet knows this
stands tall above the dancing
with word poets
who are little more than
an instrument of a poem
far greater than themselves
*
bar room revolution talk
is little more than
an exercise in futility
an exercise in futility
take it to the streets
be like Walt Whitman
walk blood stained battlefields
walk blood stained battlefields
real and imagined
tend to the spiritual wounds
of your comrades
quit trading favors
in twenty-eight
Baskin and Robbin flavors
in twenty-eight
Baskin and Robbin flavors
be like the people of Egypt
who risked life and limb
for their beliefs
be like the anonymous poets of Poland
be like the anonymous poets of Poland
who during the height
of government tyranny
tossed poems into the public square
for the people to read
giving them hope in desperate times
sitting at Spec’s bar in North Beach
downing shots of vodka
and shouting,” I hate America,
is cheap political theater
is cheap political theater
be like your sisters and brothers
in the workers struggle in Wisconsin
marching for worker rights
love them become one with them
shout your poems from town squares
and from rooftops in solidarity
and from rooftops in solidarity
with them.
poet laureate’s come and go
inmates die on death row
words can not be danced with
they need to b lived
inmates die on death row
words can not be danced with
they need to b lived
Whitman was the Heavyweight
champion of poetry
champion of poetry
stood tall and fearless
among the enemy
which is never really man
but the poison in his soul
pride envy ego
lust for power
lust for power
how can those inflicted
with this disease
write from the soul
one column of media praise
is of less value
than a single tear-drop on a poem
from a waitress in a greasy
road stop diner
a poet who dances with words
dances a solo dance
in a barroom with no jukebox
the true poet’s topic
is the people
is the people
not the poet.
