Steve Richmond (poet)

Steve Richmond (1941 − October 21, 2009) was an American poet from Southern California whose notoriety comes primarily from his association with the mid-career of poet Charles Bukowski in the 1960s.[1] He is also associated with the "Meat School" of American poetry,[2] known for a direct, tough and masculine style of writing.[3] Other "Meat School" poets were Bukowski and William Wantling.

Bukowski helped mentor Richmond early in his career.
