Bob Kaufman is the real deal still on is line of flight.......2004-02-13
from San Francisco beat scene into utter poetic beatitude and broken forms of beauty and mongrel utterance. If there is anybody up ahead of Jack Spicer and Allen Ginsberg in the bay area poetics of experimentation and abomunation, it is Bob Kaufman. He comes out of Great Time of literature ahead of us, postmodern and material-real all at once. No wonder Spicer had to (symbolically) kill him off in Tower of Babel, he felt dimininished and threatened by his love and his poetics (but of course Spicer mocked himself as the minor academic poet John Ralston, safe and non-Blakean). Kaufman lives on in the "ancient rains" and imperial formations of queer and language-writing San Francisco, a long long time ahead.
Excellent book.......2000-11-07
Bob Kaufman is a great poet. He is one of the beat poets, speaking in coffee houses and on the streets of San Francisco. He strived to be anonymous. Read this book. Once you have done that, read his words out loud, and with passion. Its great.

Bobby Kaufman was the black Rimbaud.......2005-08-31
I met him once in caffe Trieste in the late 70's. Bought him a cup of coffee and he read me a poem. I didn't really know him then but later I discovered him and his poetry has sustained me ever since. Forget Ginsberg, Corso and even Kerouac. Bob was the real deal and still is. His lines were from the depth of his guts -- tough, honest and beautiful. Read him and when you're broken down enough you'll understand what I mean.
What a great riffer!.......2003-07-03
To those young poets who take part in poetry slams...check out Kaufman. All of his poetry was improvised into being, he never wrote anything down. His wife kept up a steady stream of shorthand, then transcribed it...if not for her, we'd never know how great Kaufman really was. His poetry is lyrical, funny, touching and surreal all at the same time. You have to read it to believe it!
ghost of verse.......2003-05-08
Bob Kaufman was one of two things, highly overlooked, and cursed with genius. He was of the San Francisco Renaissance, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, et al. A BEAT, for lack of better...hailed by the French as the American Rimbaud. His writing I liken to the paintings of Jean Michel Basquiat, for their paranoid intensity, powerful confrontation, and schizophrenic cognizance. Like Basquiat, Kaufman's life was lived fast and blazing, like a nova, or shooting star, beautiful to watch and quick to collapse. He was the best of the so-called BEAT writers, his poetry is true jazz and of the streets. Le pauvre garcon, mon couer mon dieux, encre en feu.

Steal this book!.......2006-05-12
The style of this book is excellent in that it gives you plenty of examples of how fuzzy arithmetic works. Honestly, I doubt there exists a more comprehensive book on fuzzy arithmetic around.
You'll find information on fuzzy numbers and their basic arithmetic, how alpha cuts work in fuzzy arithemtic, type-two fuzzy numbers, probabilisitic-fuzzy hybrid numbers, fuzzy modular arithmetic, combinatorics with fuzzy numbers, and an application of fuzzy arithmetic to catastrophe theory. And more, of course.
If you can find a copy, get it immediately. The explanations are clear, the reasoning is thorough, and the examples carefully illustrate the ideas. Steal this book!
Outstanding - a book that opens many doors........2003-08-17
I've had this book for years, and keep coming back to it. Many books define fuzzy numbers in various ways, and hint at combining them with some kind of arithmetic. Kaufmann and Gupta actually carry out those operations. Since fuzzy addition is a kind of convolution, they also show why fuzzy subtraction does not reverse the operation - deconvolution does. If you want to use fuzzy arithmetic for constraint propagation, this changes the basic nature of backwards propagation.
I just wish the author's clarity had extended a little farther into the mechanics of the various kinds of convolution. They handle discrete cases only, and offer about the least readable presentation of convolution that I've ever seen.
I'm not a theoretician, so I appreciate the book's clarity and examples. It is so clear and thorough that I refer to it for ideas quite unrelated to fuzzy arithmetic. If a sign of a great book is the number of unrelated topics that it clarifies, then this title is very good indeed.
This title may not suit the beginner and may not suit the expert. For us in the middle, though, it is incredibly helpful.

Poet's Poet.......2003-10-14
Whenever I start to believe, I am a poet, I read this to remind me I am not.
Great compilaton of Kaufman.......2003-07-03
This compilation contains some poems from his book, "Solitudes Crowded with Loneliness," which I also bought, but there are also enough other poems in here from his ouvre to please most of his fans. Kaufman is not as well-known a name as Kerouac or Ginsberg, but he should be....in part because he influenced them both, but mainly because he was a GREAT poet. Like, dig, man!!
Effortless Grace.......2002-12-15
Of all the Beat poets, Bob Kauffman was the most naturally gifted. One gets the feeling that Kauffman dashed most of these poems off by cafe or bar light, and that's a big part of their power and their charm. These poems are not "finished" in the same sense as the standard, tenured faculty M.F.A. drivel that's defined as POETRY these ticky-tacky days. Rather, they are invitations: doorways into another time, place, and state of mind, and they're as pumped full of virtu (effortless grace) as a bop solo on the far side of midnight.
The True Beatnik.......2000-06-14
jazz, surrealism, and absurdism, all clash together in this splendid volume of work. kaufman was a contemporary of jack kerouac,allen ginsberg, leroi jones, and other beat luminaries of the 50's and 60's. he is credited with coining the term, "beat" and was the unofficial poet laureate of san francisco's north beach area.reclusive and mysterious, he spent many of his readings, reciting his poems from memory; very few volumes of his poems were in print;there were only three known books of his work: " The Ancient Rain," " Solitudes Crowded with Loneliness" and " Golden Sardine." his poetic influences are many, such as rimbaud and hart crane, but jazz is always at the heart of his work...to capture the essence of this brilliant poet, check out such pieces as " would you wear my eyes?" " i, too, know what i am not," and " walking parker home"
