While Reznikoff never attained success as a poet in his own time, his haiku and tanka-like work was later celebrated, first by Louis Zukofsky and the Objectivists in the 1930s, and then by the Beats in the 1950s. Allen Ginsberg in particular was a fan of Reznikoff's work, and affectionately called him \"one of Walt Whitman's grandchildren.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e. . . . . . . . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Brooklyn Bridge I saw a man drop dead, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt meant no more than if he were a sparrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove us rose Manhattan, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow the river spread to meet bay and sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e. . . . . . . . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt rains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe elms curve into clouds of twigs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lawns are empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e. . . . . . . . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Forgotten Poets Newsletter presents new collections of out-of-print and obscure poetry, with a focus on compressed \u0026amp; fragmented 'free' and 'new' verse from the late-1800s \u0026amp; early-1900s, \u0026amp; the early history of English-language tanka \u0026amp; haiku.
