...Auden and Allen Tate were both, in Auden's word, "colonizers" of the terrain that Pound and Eliot discovered. Theodore Roethke was already a major poet when he died in 1963 at 55. The late Dylan Thomas, with his crosscountry sweep of public performances, helped carry poetry into the floodlit arena. So did the beats. Of them, only Allen Ginsberg retains any influence, perhaps less for his poems than for his relentlessly acted role as the bewhiskered prophet of four-letter words, homosexuality, pot, and general din.

To cope with Philadelphia's problems of poverty, housing, race relations, retaining and attracting industry, he added, "you need imagination and execution at the top municipal levels. We don't have that here...
