Third Mind Books' Poet of the Month:
Robert Duncan (1919-1988)
15% OFF ALL JUNE

As a poet & intellectual, Robert Duncan's presence was felt across many facets of popular culture. His name is prominent in the history of pre-Stonewall gay culture and in the emergence of the bohemian socialist communities of the 1930s and 1940s, in the Beat Generation, and in the cultural & political upheaval of the 1960s, influencing occult & gnostic circles of the time. During the later part of his life, Duncan's work, published by City Lights & New Directions, came to be distributed worldwide, and his influence as a poet is evident in both mainstream & avant-garde writing.

We are a week behind on our New Arrivals but hear us out: Our brand-new ANNEX above the store is officially being transformed into our management office and curation headquarters!
