Richard O. Moore (February 26, 1920 – March 25, 2015) was an American poet associated with Kenneth Rexroth[1] and the San Francisco Renaissance.[2]
His earliest poetry was published in 1945 in Circle Magazine by George Leite. In 1949 he was one of the founders of KPFA, the first listener-supported public radio station in the United States. He continued to write poetry, but seldom sought to publish. Over the next fifty years he was active as a documentary filmmaker and public television executive, at KQED,[3] San Francisco and KTCA, Minneapolis-Saint Paul.[4][5]
Upon retirement in 2000, Moore returned full-time to poetry.[6] Writing the Silences edited by Brenda Hillman and Paul Ebenkamp, includes a selection of his poetry from 1946–2008.[7]
