Welcome to the Michael McClure tribute pages brought to you by Pacific Rim Review of Books and Ekstasis Editions. Michael McClure was an award-winning American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist. A key figure of the Beat Generation, McClure is immortalized as Pat McClear in Jack Kerouac’s novels Dharma Bums and Big Sur. He passed away on Monday, May 4, 2020. His poetry offers a radical aesthetic that is original and profound. One of the readers at the legendary Six Gallery reading, McClure was an influential and inspired cultural presence in American literature for the past six decades. He participated in the ’60s counterculture alongside musicians like Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. His unique presence will be sorely missed. This site features essays, reviews and ephemera from Pacific Rim Review of Books and other sources. See the links below. "Michael
