}} Ronald William Loewinsohn (December 15, 1937 – October 14, 2014)[1][2] was an American poet and novelist who was associated with the poetry of the San Francisco Renaissance[3] since his inclusion in Donald Allen's 1960 poetry anthology, The New American Poetry 1945–1960.[4][5] He was Professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Berkeley.[6]

Education and career

Born in Iloilo, Philippines, Loewinsohn and his family relocated Los Angeles in the United States in 1945.[7][8] They later lived in The Bronx[8] and then settled in San Francisco, where he lived until 1967.[7] Loewinsohn credits this proximity to North Beach with his own development as a poet: "I graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in 1955, with the Beat generation happening all around me. I met all of the principals, heard Ginsberg, Snyder, Whalen and McClure read in Berkeley in April, 1956, and continued to write, mostly poetry, in that vernacular and (I thought) oracular mode."[7] Loewinsohn then traveled, married in 1957, and worked as a lithographer for 12 years.[8] In 1959, he published his first collection of poetry, Watermelons which contained an introduction by Allen Ginsberg and a prefatory letter by William Carlos Williams.[8] He also co-edited the little magazine Change with Richard Brautigan.[3] The poets who were most influential on his work included William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Richard Brautigan, Philip Whalen, Gary Snyder, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov.[7]

In the early 1960s, Loewinsohn taught a poetry workshop at San Francisco State University Extension, an experience which made him realize that he wanted to be a teacher.[7] He received a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1967 and Ph.D. from the Harvard University in 1971 (his dissertation was on William Carlos Williams).[1] He joined the faculty of the department of English at University of California, Berkeley in 1970[1] and retired in 2005.[7][9] His papers are archived in Stanford University's Department of Special Collections and University Archives.[10]
