 Don't Touch the Poet: The Life and Times of Joel Oppenheimer | Jeffery Beam | Essays | Oyster Boy Review 16 | Winter ...
Joel Oppenheimer, who died in 1997, strove to make earth confess its "stolen bits of God." This biography, which grew out of a hypnotherapist's sessions with Oppenheimer as he attempted to lessen his tobacco habit, brings attention to this poet who received much less than he deserved during his life.
Oppenheimer, a student at Black Mountain College during its Charles Olson / Paul Goodman heyday, a figure in the Greenwich Village scene most of his life, and a notable critic for The Village Voice, published mostly through small, but distinguished, presses such as The Jargon Society and Perishable Press.
The book begins with his death, and the text of his last poem "animal." In the poem a young goat reaches unsuccessfully for some green leaves tempting it nearby, and an old dog tangled in undergrowth by his lead spends a whole day without water and later runs away.

 Correspondents of Note
Joel Oppenheimer was born in Yonkers, New York, and raised there, in a neighborhood a short walk from the New York City line.
The most pervasive and persistent influence, however, has been William Carlos Williams, to whom he was introduced at Black Mountain (at least the Williams of the Collected Earlier Poems [1951] and Pictures from Breughel [1962] rather than of Paterson, which Oppenheimer felt was "a magnificent and futile failure").
And it was not Charles Olson's own poetry as much as Olson the teacher that significantly affected him, instructing him to discover his own voice and, specifically, to allow the full natural "discursiveness" of that voice to enter the poems.
