	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Rod McKuen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		McKuen is the poet critics love to hate, and through the years his books have drawn uniformly unkind reviews.
		The brief liner notes from one of McKuen's albums sums up his appeal to the masses: "Rod McKuen speaks to those who've lost them for those who seek them." His ineffable yearning-to-be-loved poetry stemmed from the trauma of his attenuated childhood, and particularly the absence of his natural father.
		While the period when critics actively loathed him is long over, McKuen remains a seminal figure, not in the arena of poetry where the gates have long since been barred against any serious consideration of his work, but in the annals of publishing where McKuen's massive popular success may never be equaled again.

		Oliver Twist is a straight CD reissue of McKuen's 1961 twist album, and it's a delightfully goofy and varied collection of novelties full of jokey references to literary figures, actors, and musicians (and constant self-references).
		Oliver Twist is completely different from McKuen's later pop and easy listening efforts, and is completely delightful.
		The only constant between the twistin' McKuen and his later sensitive-swinger persona is his raspy voice, which may be an acquired taste for some.

		The songs (written by soul-mate Rod McKuen specifically for Sinatra) are perfect for Frank.
		But I have come to realize that Sinatra is the only one who can save Rod McKuen's "poetry" from dime store pop and turn his work into an utterly compelling mood album on alone-ness.
		A Man Alone was made during March of 1969 and we find Frank in great voice, singing about being alone with a honesty that only Frank can express I believe this may be as close to the real Frank as we'll find again for the rest of his recording career.
