Bob Holman
Bob Holman is an American poet and poetry activist, most closely identified with the oral tradition, the spoken word, and slam poetry. As a promoter of poetry in many media, Holman has spent the last four decades working variously as an author, editor, publisher, performer, emcee of live events, director of theatrical productions, producer of films and television programs, record label executive, university professor, poet's house proprietor and archivist. He was described by Henry Louis Gates Jr. in ''The New Yorker'' as "the postmodern promoter who has done more to bring poetry to cafes and bars than anyone since Ferlinghetti."〔Gates, Jr., Henry Louis, "Sudden Def", ''The New Yorker'', June 19, 1995.〕 ==Early years== Holman was born in Harlan, Kentucky in 1948, the child of "a coal miner's daughter and the only Jew in town."〔Richardson, Linda, "Public Lives; A Poet (and Proprietor) Is a Beacon in the Bowery," ''New York Times'', November 12, 2002, http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/12/nyregion/public-lives-a-poet-and-proprietor-is-a-beacon-in-the-bowery.html?pagewanted=print.〕 His father committed suicide when Holman was two.〔 After his mother remarried, Holman was raised in rural Ohio. He attended Columbia College and graduated in 1970 with a degree in English. At Columbia, Holman studied with Kenneth Koch, Eric Bentley, and Michael Wood but claims that his "major poetry schooling," was "the Lower East Side, with Allen Ginsberg, John Giorno, Anne Waldman, Miguel Piñero, Hettie Jones, Ed Sanders, Amiri Baraka, Ted Berrigan, Alice Notley, Pedro Pietri, David Henderson, Steve Cannon, et al."〔Bio, bobholman.com, http://www.bobholman.com/bio〕
