Thomas Parkinson information


Thomas F. Parkinson (1920–1992) was an American poet and Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley. He specialized in the poetry of W. B. Yeats;[1] and was one of the first academics to write about the Beat poets and novelists of San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s.

Parkinson was also a political activist for much of his life, and survived a murder attempt in 1961 by a former student who sought to "get someone who was associated with Communism." Though Parkinson survived being shot in the face (and bore the scars of the assault for the rest of his life), the teaching assistant who was with him at the time was killed. Thomas Parkinson died of a heart attack in 1992, at age 72, after a long illness.[2]
