		As a baby, Fearing was abducted by his mother, who gave him up on the same day when she was tracked down by his father.

	Kenneth Fearing's Life--by Robert M. Ryley
		Kenneth's mother, Olive Flexner Fearing, was a member of the illustrious Jewish family that, within a generation of emigrating to the United States from Bohemia, produced Olive's cousin Abraham Flexner, the first director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton; and her cousin Simon Flexner, the first director of the Rockefeller Institute.
		Fearing's best work, it was said, had been done before 1938; or the poet was repeating himself, or his methods or his themes or his aesthetic or all three were such as to make major poems impossible.
		When Fearing was about to leave, she went to a movie, telling him to help himself to anything in the loft he thought he could use, but all he took, she discovered when she returned, was a small radio.

	Kenneth Fearing (1927-1988)
		Kenneth Fearing lived and wrote during that era when, though Modernism was doing its best to demand that everyone choose a side, the dividing line between high and low art was still wavy, and a few poets were able to stake claims in both camps.
		His mother rarely exercised her custody privilege, and his father was loving but lax with his, giving Kenneth mostly over to the supervision of an eccentric aunt, and eventually remarrying and getting a separate apartment with his new wife, leaving his son and the aunt behind.
		That Fearing was of a time when serious poetry could still be a popular is demonstrated by the fact that his books can be discussed in terms of whether or not they earned back an advance on royalties.

	The Big Clock
		The talk was based on a chapter from his forthcoming book on popular culture and concentrated on the career of long-time CP member and writer Kenneth Fearing, who died in 1961, and whose novel "The Big Clock" and the film based on it are classic noir.
		Fearing was part of the left wing constellation of writers grouped around the John Reed Clubs in the 1920s, many of whom identified with or joined the CPUSA.
		Fearing, like Hammett, was a life-long drunk who had a string of broken marriages and relationships in tow.

	Po-mo pulp in the 1930s Novel: A Forum on Fiction - Find Articles
		Rita Barnard's study of poet Kenneth Fearing and novelist Nathanael West, two literary radicals whose works exceed the boundaries of what is commonly thought of as proletarian culture, helps explain the paradoxical convergence of political radicalism and consumer culture during the 1930s.
		Fearing's quotational poems and West's vicious rewritings of classic narratives point to the much earlier genesis of postmodern sensibility.
		Fearing's fascination with the moviehouse appears again and again in his cut-up poems that incorporate advertising jingles, soap opera and billboard graffiti as intertitles into his vignettes of American losers.

	The Big Clock
		Fearing does a terrific job of capturing each of the narrators' voice, from the philosophical musings of Stroud, to the reptilian assessments of Hagen, to the uncontrolled tittering of Patterson.
		Macready perfectly captures the essence of Hagen as described by Fearing : "He was a good self-portrait of candor [and] his voice was a good phonographic reproduction of the slightly confidential friend." Lanchester infuses her performance with mad gales of laughter that keep the audience guessing about her stability and intentions.
		Fearing's Stroud is far from being just a poor schlub caught up in incriminating circumstances one night with the boss's main squeeze.

	The Big Clock - Kenneth Fearing
		Fearing tosses in quite a bit more, from Janoth's secret that led to his murderous rage to the significance of George being an art collector devoted to a specific artist.
		There are one or two coincidences too many, and Fearing occasionally gets too playful (George's wife is named Georgette, their daughter Georgia...), but the central story is strong enough to carry readers easily past all that.
		Fearing has a good, hard-edged style, and George's voice -- the dominant one -- is an interesting one.

		Kenneth Fearing's name is less well known than those of most of the authors featured in this series of all-time mystery classics, but his stunning thriller is undoubtedly in the list on merit.
		Fearing was a notable poet in America's Depression era, but with this novel, first published in 1946, he struck gold.
		Not surprisingly, Fearing was unable in his subsequent books to match it.

	Dirty rotten scoundrels - Arts - The Phoenix
		Except that nothing in the voice achieved by the author, Kenneth Fearing, suggests that he ever had any illusions to be dispelled.
		This, Fearing is saying, is what American success consists of: mediocrity, corruption, ruthlessness that’s so second nature it’s business as usual, paranoia that’s actually a sensible determination to watch your back.
		The perversity here is in why he fears discovery: not because he fears losing his life but because he fears losing his position.

		A responsible stylist, Fearing frequently succeeds in welding big talk and tough into the kind of indivisible unit that makes literary news.
		Fearing went to New York from his home town of Chicago in 1924—a time when life in the U. metropolis was ripe for the mirroring his style could give it.
		Fearing's linguistic mirror was well adapted to reflect New York—until the Depression drew the fires from under the big talk of the city's prosperity-mongers.

	Powell's Books - Clark Gifford's Body (New York Review Books Classics) by Kenneth Fearing
		Fearing's novel skips freely through those years, interspersing newspaper clippings and court transcripts with the reactions and reminiscences of the politicians, generals, businessmen, journalists, waiters, and soldiers who double as the actors and the chorus in a drama over which, finally, they have no control.
		Fearing creates a pseudo-documentary of a world given over to pseudo-politics and pseudo-events, and all the more deadly for that.
		Fearing's novel is a pseudo-documentary of a world given over to pseudo-politics and pseudo-events, a prophetic glimpse of the future as a poisonous fog.

		Underrated The 1940s was a great period for the indigenous American crime novel, and Kenneth Fearing was a notably sophisticated master of suspense.
		A distinguished feature of his Dagger of the Mind (1941) is that it is set at a venerable artists’ colony like Yaddo or MacDowell, where intrigue and amorous affairs are usual but homicide is not.
		Fearing offers a clever variant on the law of the purloined letter, which stipulates that the elusive object of a search may be most effectively concealed if it is left out in the open.

		Fearing's taut, relaxed fiction is even better, deservedly a classic in its depiction of the corporate man at his most basic and disloyal.” --The Globe and Mail
		Fearing, poet and novelist, must now also be labeled a master of the tour de force.
		He has taken one of those tricky situations which always appeal to the short story writer and the mystery novelist and made it into an almost believable metropolitan melodrama.

		Kenneth Fearing's The Big Clock was transformed into a marvelous film starring Charles Laughton; 40 years later, the same source, retitled No Way Out, brought Kevin Costner to stardom.
		A slight mistake, an unwitting rebellion, an unintentional expression of rage or desire can spell disaster for a fl man--a beating over a game of craps, or an arrest, or termination from a job, or an accusation of rape.
		But as the police continue to shadow him, Steele's own penchant for violence erupts against friends, strangers, and even Laurel herself, whose feelings are increasingly eclipsed by suspicion that her lover is a murderer, and fear that he'll harm her.

	Beatrice.com: Two Poets, Each Underappreciated in His Own Way
		His verse is especially powerful when it grapples explicitly with the issues surrounding slavery and abolition, the latter of which was a matter of crusade for him.
		To the extent he's known at all today, Fearing is perhaps best remembered as the author of thrillers like The Big Clock, which was adapted once fairly respectfully and then cannibalized for the Kevin Costner vehicle No Way Out.
		But in the mid-1990s, a splendid essay by Thomas Disch turned me on to the fact that Fearing was also a poet quite ahead of his time, so ever since then I'd been hoping the poems would eventually get back into print.

	2 American Poets - The Washington Times: Books - November 14, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The individual poets are Edna St. Vincent Millay, Karl Shapiro, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Yvor Winters, Kenneth Fearing, Muriel Rukeyser, John Greenleaf Whittier, and John Berryman.
		The first observation to make is that the poets range from heavy weights (Whitman, Poe, Berryman) to important poets who are not necessarily of the first rank (Millay, Shapiro, Rukeyser) to minor poets (Winters, Fearing, Whittier).
		Obviously, the Library of America wants to afford readers not only the opportunity to revisit old favorites, but also to discover poets whose reputations have suffered over time, whose work is not readily available.
