David Meltzer (born February 17, 1937) is an American poet and musician of the Beat Generation and San Francisco Renaissance. Kenneth Rexroth: “It is a poetry of song, of the spoken word. He is a contemporary Kabbalist whose shtetl is the world village on the brink of extermination. For Meltzer the word is power, the power of the creative mystery.”
