Critic, novelist, filmmaker, jazz musician, painter, and, above all, poet, Weldon Kees performed, practiced, and published with the best of his generation of artiststhe socalled middle generation, which included Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, and John Berryman. His dramatic disappearance (a probable suicide) at the age of fortyone, his moviestar good looks, his role in various movements of the day, and his shifting relationships with key figures in the arts have made him one of the more intriguingand elusiveartists of the time. In this longawaited biography, James Reidel presents the first full account of Keess troubled yet remarkably accomplished life.Reidel traces Keess career from his birth in 1914 and boyhood in Beatrice, Nebraska, to his stint as an awardwinning shortstory writer and novelist, his rise as a poet and critic in New York, his branching off into abstract expressionism, jazz music, and theater, and his experimental and scientific filmmaking and photography. Going beyond the cult status that has grown up around Kees over the years, this work fairly and judiciously places him as a cultural adventurer at a particularly rich and significant moment in postwar twentiethcentury America.
