Additional Information: Howard Hart was a Beat poet and jazz drummer and was friends with many of the jazz greats as well as the early Beats and NY poets especially Lamantia and Delmore Schwartz (a friend from Columbia where he earned his MA). Howard Hart, Philip Lamantia, and Jack Kerouac, who Philip had introduced to Howard, read their poetry with french horn & piano jazz improvisations by David Amram at The Circle In The Square and the Brata Gallery, major events in the history of poetry and jazz fusion performances. Howard studied musical composition with the famous composer Charles Mills who set Howard’s poem “Wail For Our Dead Guitarist” to piano music. He wrote theatre & book reviews for the Village Voice, 1959-1961. Those reviewed included Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Thelonius Monk, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Eugene Ionesco, & Marguerite Duras. Cavemodern was founded in 2005 as a home for important "modern" books and works on paper. "Cave" meant a home for both the tangible touch of beautiful objects and a cozy virtual den for armchair exploration. "Modern" starts with the art and literature that went beyond realistic depictions to expressive use of color, non-traditional materials, and new techniques and mediums. Our focus has evolved to be on important pieces by cultural innovators that take their work in new, unexpected, and modern directions.
