NOTES
Michael Rothenberg is a prominent poet in the Beat and San Francisco Renaissance tradition. His friendship and literary relationship with such poets as Michael McClure, Philip Whalen, Joanne Kyger and David Meltzer is well documented. He is editor and publisher of the online literary magazine BigBridge.org, which has been a presence on the web for nearly 25 years. He is also co-founder of the global arts movement 100 Thousand Poets for Change, The Read A Poem To A Child Initiative, and co-founder of Poets In Need, a non-profit 501(c), assisting poets in crisis.
He has published nearly 20 books of poetry including Nightmare of The Violins, Favorite Songs, Man/Woman (a collaboration with Joanne Kyger), Unhurried Vision, Monk Daddy, The Paris Journals, Choose, My Youth As A Train, Murder (Paper Press 2014), and Sapodilla (Editions du Cygne-Swan World, Paris, France, 2016). Indefinite Detention: A Dog Story, was published in 2013 by Ekstasis Editions (Victoria, B.C., Canada), and in 2014 by Shabda Press (USA).

Born in Miami Beach, Florida in 1951, Rothenberg moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1975 and co-founded Shelldance Orchid Gardens in Pacifica, which is dedicated to the cultivation of orchids and bromeliads. While in Pacifica, he helped lead local environmental actions that stopped major coastal developments that would destroy wildlife habitat. He was co-founder of Pacificans for Mori Point, a grass-roots group that led the battle to stop development of endangered species habitat on Mori Point and Sweeney Ridge, which resulted in the eventual inclusion of these areas in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. He was also on the G.G.N.R.A. Steering Committee, the Board of Directors of the Pacific Land Trust and was founder of the Bromeliad Society International Conservation Committee.
His work has been published widely in literary reviews and included in anthologies such as Ecopoetry: A Contemporary American Anthology, edited by Ann Fisher-Wirth and Laura-Gray Street (Trinity University Press); 43 Poetas por Ayotzinapa, edited by Jesús González Alcántara and Moisés H. Cortés Cruz (Mexico); Saints of Hysteria, A Half- Century of Collaborative American Poetry, edited by David Trinidad and Denise Duhamel (Soft Skull Press); Hidden Agendas/Unreported Poetics, edited by Louis Armand (Litteraria Pragensia); and For the Time-Being: The Bootstrap Book of Poetic Journals, edited by Tyler Doherty and Tom Morgan (Bootstrap Productions): The Fighter Still Remains: a Celebration of Boxing in Poetry and Song, edited by George Kimball and John Schulian (Fore Angels Press).
His editorial work includes several volumes in the Penguin Poets series: Overtime by Philip Whalen, As Ever by Joanne Kyger, David’s Copy by David Meltzer, and Way More West by Ed Dorn. He is also editor of The Collected Poems of Philip Whalen published by Wesleyan University Press. Rothenberg currently lives on Lake Jackson in Tallahassee, Florida. He is Florida State University Libraries Poet in Residence. He frequently performs his poetry with The Ecosound Ensemble, a band composed of some of Tallahassee’s musical legends. In 2020 Rothenberg and The Ecosound Ensemble released their first CD on Tribal Records, featuring jazz and world music greats Longineu Parsons (Branford Marsalis, Archie Shepp) Michael Bakan (John Cage, Tito Puente), and Brian Hall (Scotty Barnhart, Byron Stripling).
