I continue writing my own poetry on a daily basis, as I have been doing since high school days in my native city of Boston, Massachusetts. I derive a lot of my ideas from being on the road for twenty-five years in the U.S., the Pacific Islands, Western and Eastern Europe, and Mexico. I have had 20 books published, some of which are available at City Lights Books or by writing me c/o P.O. Box 330168, S.F., CA 94133. Hoping you had a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely yours, Philip Chetwynd, Fine Artist, PhD
TOOK FIVE YEARS TO WRITE ELEVEN POEMS
THATS WHY I FIND IT EASIER TO TAKE AS MUCH CREDIT FOR “NORTHBEACH” POETS
AS POSSIBLE.
I CAN’T SEEM TO PUBLISH ANYTHING OF REAL POETIC VALUE.
DAMN I WISH I COULD HAVE BLOWN KEROUK TO GET SO NORTHBEACH CREDIBILITY
Please hand me a copy next time I see you at the Cafe Trieste. Thank you! Riki
Received several of your books, most of which are no longer in print. They were a bit costly, but well worth the expense. I especially enjoyed reading your collection of haikus and tankas (in English and Japanese) and your chinese collection in English and Mandarin. Understand you hold a PhD in Engl. Lit. and that the Mayor of San Francisco set aside every July 25th as PHILIP HACKETT DAY.
Good luck with all your future endeavors as a poet and producer.
RE MY PHD
Just wanted to clarify with you Ricky
PHD IN THIS CASE STANDS FOR
Pathetic- Hopeless- Delusional
Philip, please be sure to save a copy for me. I know you publish a lot of books in limited signed copies. I’ll be sending you a generous donation and will appreciate receiving my copy asap. Sincerely, Sima
Received a number of copies of your wonderful books of poetry. Especially liked the one entitled SABRA. Thank you Mr. Hackett. Thank you!
Interested poets:
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Jack Hirschman
Sharon Doubiago
Neeli Cherkovski
Thank you Mr. Hackett
You will never be on their level the best you can do is hope to “present”them and pretend you are not a wanna be in their shadows
Ruby, go to the Address Book and send out an invite to the other 150 plus poets listed.
Here Is an idea Phillip,
Get a bunch of middle ages alchoholic women that can read there drunken prose….
Oh wait, that describes EVERY Phillip hackett event..
What liquor store do you recruit from anyway?
Another great program of poetry, painting and music at Caffe Greco last night!
I’m stuck in paradise and have no desire unfulfilled.
Thanks anyway

Ill weaved ambition how art thou shrunk when once your body did contain a spirit that a whole country could not fit, now north beach is your soul’s border…
Hi. Very interesting Post. Not really what i have searched over Google, but thanks for the information. Can you email me back, please. Thank you.
Phillip – I am still dawdling over Off-Roads Scholar. I love the bare honesty and exact renderings. I love that the amish guys fall into foot fetishes!!! (from Wooster, Ohio – near where I grew up)
Terry
What is your phone #?
My number can be found in the men’s room at Trieste and is featured under bj in over 25 northbeach mensroom/ venues
Hey Phil,
I think we met at Cafe Greco, last year, I’m the Aussie poet/ Did you know Jack Hircshman, maybe I spelt it wrong, and also do you know A.D.Winans, if so give him my regards, we have written a little to each other these past months. I enjoyed reading at Cafe Greco, will have a book out later this year back in OZ called ‘Shores Of American Memory…..cheers Ken
Know them, hell I discovered them. They would be nothing without me to “present” them.
I also discovered city light books.and gave the beat movement its rythem. As well as other delusions of grandeur.
I’m a very important man in some circles
Philip – please send me a signed copy with invoice (Miss you and Terry somedays too often) … Jeff

In 2010 was crowned the King of Poetry at Harvard Square to the pleasure of thousands. Ferllinghetti himself introduced the King at the Caffe Trieste to the applause of those drinking their favorite cup of coffee. Bravo! Pay Neil $100 min. Service Charge (Rubbles NOT accepted.
Isn’t it pathetic that this old man will never be known as anything other than the scam artist who uses local poets..hackett will suck you dry like a psychic vampire.he will never be relevant to the north beach scene.only steel its thunder.
REGARDING :KING OF POETRY!
ELVIS CHRIST IS THE ONLY TRUE KING OF POETRY.HE LIVES AND BREATHES HIS WORDS ON THE STREET.
PLEASE STOP CLAIMING TO BE LIKE THE CHRIST.
CAFFE TRIESTE THINKS YOU ARE WRONG.DONT CLAIM US AS YOUR CRUMBLING KINGDOM
Mean Irish from Southie take your ambition and liar’s poetry act back to Beantown! Nobody in the beach needs your promo piss ant act!!
I love how you describe this pathetic excuse for a poet.He seems more interested in getting his name out than anything.thanks for your accurate description
PHILLIP LET ME READ MY AMAZING POETRY EVEN WHEN PEOPLE KNEW I SUCKED AT IT.HE GAVE ME THE INSPIRATION TO SHARE MY BORING POEMS WITH EVERYONE EVEN IF THEY SUCK. THANKS FOR GIVING SHITTY POETRY A HOME…
:
Don’t feel special,most of my poets suck…it makes me feel better about my own work surrounding myself with the worst northbeach has to offer………..damn I look good when you grade on a curve

Hello sir,
My name is Demarrius Price, and I am an aspiring writer. I have a talent and love for writing poetry. My reason for writing you is because you seem well seasoned in the publishing industry. I almost got swindled by two (I think they are vanity publishing companies) publishing companies.
I would just like it if you could assist me, from author to new aspiring author, in following my dream. A dream of sharing my poetry with the world, and being rewarded through my fan’s devotion and sky rocketing sales.
My issue is I don’t know if I want to go ebooks, or hard book, self published, or through a publishing company. Because of school and associated loans, my money isnt where it needs to be, but I’m willing to invest the little that I have into my future. I just want your assistance in helping me to decide the safest route for trying to get my voice to be heard.

It is the responsibility of the true Bohemian to make a spectacle of himself!
– to quote Joe Gould.
hi p how are u? you gave me a poetry show in north beach with laura..plz contact me
Phillip you and your Family are a God send to this planet Earth!
No one knows a brother more than his mother and brother. I am his youngest brother and sibling, Baby Joey. When I was eight or nine Phillip taught me how to box and condition myself, physically. Phillip, Billy, the middle sibling, and I were members of the Boys Cub in Southie (Boston). Spending time there was less congested than our “flat” in the D Street projects. We all were involved in the many activities offered there. We learned to swim, play basketball and baseball. We played checkers and chess. We went to overnight camp at Camp Milton, Camp Wing, and Duxbury Stockade. Phillip became a skilled boxer at 115lbs. He fought at the “Muni”, and held more than his own. I recall kids telling othe kids to not bother me because “He’s Hackett’s brother”. “Ya” for me!
All of our siblings attended Monsignor Patterson Catholic Elementary School, K-8. We three boys were alter boys at St. Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church. Billy and I served for only a few years. Phillip was a “lifer”! So much so that when he joined the army at age 18, he served as a Chaplain’s assistant.
The three of Us were Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Phillip was very serious at both. So much so, that he was anointed with both prestigious awards, Eagle Scout and “Ad Altera Dei”. The highest honors given to a Catholic Boy Scout. His Scout shirts were loaded down by the weight of all his medals. Billy and I were not so inclined to be as serious. Our tenure didn’t last long, at all.
The good thing about having Phillip as an older brother and Scout is that he took us outdoor camping in the Blue Hills, an hour train, trolley, and bus ride from the Projects in Southie. Just three boys camping in the Reservation for a couple of nights. Adventurous, for sure. Ten years later, I thanked my lucky stars for the opportunity to have gone camping with my Scout brother. During the summer between my junior and senior years at college, Phillip invited me to join him in Anchorage, Alaska. Eventually, he and I, found our way to Fairbanks, Alaska. There, we spent twenty long days and nights camping under the employment of the USA Bureau of Land Management.
We were hired as “firefighters”. We each had a polaski pick, “piss” bag, and a Buck knife. Daily, we would helicopter out of the camp site on the Salcha River and jumped off in remote areas 15-20 mile north of the camp. Just Phillip and me! What? As he said at the time, “Joey, can you believe that two guys from the D Street Projects in Southie are all alone in the middle of the last frontier.” Wild!
What’s up man…..I am in isolation in Hawaii
