Another Interesting personality - Steve "Kush" Kushner - a brief encounter but then a good friend of Qubenzis
Rich (Pre Qubenzis era) had the honor to meet this self acclaimed Archiver of Poetry. Already then (1987) his collection of written material, pictures, film and sound recordings was immense. Many of the big names covered.
Rich even used to drive him out to occasional poetry lectures held in universities in the Bay Area of San Francisco. He then mounted his recording equipment to record yet another addition to his ever growing library of world poetry.
He had pictures of every single South Pacific Chief on the wall of his archive, office living space (Hawaiian Chiefs, Honolulu etc.).

Bless you "KUSH", a living poetry experience not to forget in a lifetime.
Steve "Kush" Kushner is still lecturing and can be seen and heard in the S.F. Bay area. Check these links:
