Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Jack Micheline was of Russian-Romanian ancestry and worked as a union organizer before dedicating his life to poetry and painting. Taking his pen name from writer Jack London, he moved to Greenwich Village in the 1950s, where he became a street poet, drawing on Harlem blues and jazz rhythms and the cadence of word music. He lived on the fringe of poverty, writing about hookers, drug addicts, blue collar workers, and the dispossessed. In 1957, Troubadour Press published his first book 'River of Red Wine'; Jack Kerouac wrote the introduction, and it was reviewed by Dorothy Parker in Esquire magazine. Micheline relocated to San Francisco in the early 60s, where he spent the rest of his life and eventually published over 20 books.

Though a poet of the Beat generation, Micheline characterized the Beat movement as a product of media hustle, and hated being described as a 'Beat poet.' He was also a painter, working primarily with gouache in a self-taught, primitive style he picked up in Mexico City. His last publication was 'Sixty-Seven Poems for Downtrodden Saints', published in 1997. He died of a heart attack while riding a BART subway train in 1998.

I don&#39;t want to be published because I wear the same clothes that others wear, or because I have the same ideas. I want respect for my own individuality, but it doesn&#39;t work that way.

Most poets are not poets. To be a real artist is a unique and valuable asset to this planet.

I never wanted to be a poet. I still don&#39;t want to be a poet. I just want to live my life. The thing is that the working class, given the chance, would relate to poetry, but they have all this football, baseball, and television. They&#39;ve never had a chance to see a real poet that relates to their own way of life. In America, everything is profit motivation. It&#39;s the spirit that I relate to.
