Robert Garnell Kaufman (April 18, 1925 – January 12, 1986) was an American Beat poet and surrealist as well as a jazz performance artist and satirist.[1] In France, where his poetry had a large following, he was known as the Black American Rimbaud.[2]
In 1959, along with poets Allen Ginsberg, John Kelly, A. D. Winans, and William Margolis, he was one of the founders of Beatitude poetry magazine, where he also worked as an editor.
