Abstract
- The article reports that poet Irving Layton's life is an almost perfect example of how a reputation is made or rejected according to the spirit of the times. Layton's personal beliefs mirrored the 1960s mores of sexual and cultural liberation, which inspired Layton to write some wonderful poetry. If we lived in different times, Layton would have been recognized both then and now as an important public intellectual as well as a fine poet, in particular for his book "Taking Sides."
