His parents was printers, and raised him on a farm outside south of Fresno. Brother Antoninus” was born in Sacramento (California), into a September day, 1912, becoming a poet, literary critic and teacher.

THE POET IS DEAD – Snow on the headland, the strangely beautiful oblique concurrence, the strangely beautiful setting of death. The great tongue dries in the mouth. I told you. The voiceless throat cools silence. And the sea-granite eyes. Washed the sibilant waters that stretched lips kiss peace. The poet is dead. Nor will ever again hear the sea lions grunt in the kelp at Point Lobos. Nor look to the south when the grunion run the Pacific, and the plunging shear waters, insatiable, stun themselves in the sea.
