Robert Duncan & Jess Collins


Robert Duncan and Jess Collins

Inspired by Charles Olson, Robert Duncan used layered imagery in collage-like poems. His work relates to that of his life partner, artist Jess (Collins), with whom he frequently collaborated. Jess produced dense collages from found imagery. Jess and Duncan also worked with poet Helen Adam, an integral figure associated with the San Francisco Renaissance in poetry.
