  Gay Bears: Witter Bynner
American poet and scholar of Chinese literature, Witter Bynner was hired as Professor of Oral English at Berkeley in 1918 to teach in the Students' Army Training Corps.
Bynner’s teaching contract was not renewed for the following year, but his students continued to meet as a group and he from time to time joined them at their poetry readings.
Bynner and Johnson were soon drawn into the circle dominated by the cultural doyenne of the region, Mabel Dodge Luhan (who at one point in their stormy friendship accused Bynner of single-handedly introducing homosexuality into New Mexico).

Bynner and Ficke were old-school poets who had grown weary of the isms and free-form experiments such as Imagism that had displaced more traditional varieties of poetic practice.
Both Bynner and Ficke realized after they had written the Spectra poems that in attempting to produce deliberately outrageous poetry, they had let their mental guard down, and produced some of their most interesting work.
From the perspective of the present, the world has endured much worse in the way of poetic experiments during the Age of Charlatans in the twentieth century.

 BE Witter Bynner and Japan
Bynner’s response to Japan marks a turning in American verse mediations of the country.
Bynner’s evenness of tone, quiet identification with Buddhism, and suggestion of a link between East-Asian and Native American traditions anticipates poems of Japan published in the United States decades later, by Gary Snyder (see CA14e), Kenneth Rexroth (see CA13 and 14d), Lucien Stryk (CA14), and many others.
Such was the historical landscape of Bynner’s day, however, that it took those decades, the war, and the Occupation for others to follow in his steps.

Indeed, given the affinity between Whitman and Bynner, it's interesting to note that there is a myth that Bynner was actually Whitman's illegitimate son…and another myth that Bynner had African-American ancestors because of his interest in African-American poets and writers such as Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes and his attitudes on race.
Beyond that, Bynner was preoccupied with the transitory nature of all things, with the lessons to be learned from other cultures---both Asian and Native American in particular, and I've already mentioned his faith in democracy and the common man.
