Kenneth Rexroth was pivotal in the development of the San Francisco poetry renaissance of the 1940s and ’50s, supporting the younger generation of poets (such as Philip Whalen, Gary Snyder, and Allen Ginsberg) who were associated with the renaissance. He also hosted the famous public reading of Ginsberg’s “Howl” at the Six Gallery in San Francisco in 1955. In addition, Rexroth helped establish the Poetry Center at San Francisco State College (now San Francisco State University) in 1954.
